By: Yarely Garcia

This is Daisy. She’s a flower seed who lives in a big garden. She doesn’t have friends. She’s so small they can’t hear her.

Daisy wanted to grow, but she didn’t know how. She tried asking for help, but nobody answered. But that wasn’t going to stop her from following her dream.

One day, she heard the other flowers talking about photosynthesis. She thought to herself, “Photosynthesis? Is that the person who owns the garden?”

That night, it started raining really hard, and Daisy got scared. She heard a little voice coming from underground. When she looked to see who it was, she saw it was her roots talking to her.

“Don’t be scared, Daisy!” Her roots said, “This is the first step of photosynthesis.”

That word sounded familiar to her so she asked, “What is that?”

Daisy’s roots said, “Photosynthesis is going to help you grow! The first step of photosynthesis is me drinking the water that falls from the sky.” Daisy was excited that she would finally be able to grow.

Daisy asked her roots another question, “What’s the next step in photosynthesis?”

Her roots said, “You’ll have to talk to Carbon Dioxide for the next step.” Daisy stayed up that night wondering where Carbon Dioxide was.

The next morning, Daisy heard a little squeak in the air and wondered if that was Carbon Dioxide.

She asked, “Carbon Dioxide?”

The little voice got closer and said, “Yes? Who are you?”

Daisy responded, “Finally, you’re here! Hi, my name is Daisy.”

After talking for a while, Daisy finally decided to ask, “What is your part in photosynthesis?” Her new friend said, “I enter through the little holes on your leaves, and when I get sunlight, I mix with the water to create your food.”

The gas, carbon dioxide, entered through her leaves, and Daisy wondered all morning, “What light?”

Later that day, the sun came out shining really bright, and Daisy felt warm. She wondered if that was the light that would help her grow.

The next day, Daisy felt different. She could see the other flowers face to face. Does this mean Daisy grew?

Yes! Daisy finally grew. Her dream came true! Daisy was happy, but she wondered how the friends who helped her grow made her dream come true. She decided to ask another flower, “How does photosynthesis work?”

The flower replied, “Well, the first step is to have your roots drink the water, and then carbon dioxide enters your body. The sun makes this special energy through light and shines it on us. This helps the water and carbon dioxide to mix and create sugar for us to eat and oxygen for animals and humans to breathe. The sugar is broken down by a powerful cell called the mitochondria, and then the sugar turns into energy which helps us grow. The oxygen leaves our body and goes into the air.”

Daisy learned about photosynthesis, and from then on, whenever she met another flower seed, she made sure to tell them about photosynthesis. Over the years, Daisy made new friends, but she made sure to never forget about the friends who helped her grow.
