Embeded with in this piece is the theme of seizing the moment - carpe diem! Something in the field of dandelions has caught the fox’s eye. She instantly leaps in hopes of capturing it. But Michelle maintains that it’s not prey. It’s something else, something magical and hopeful. She leaps knowing in a moment the chance will be gone.
Even the dandelions in the field are metaphors for things that won’t last. They are ephemeral by nature. Here one moment, gone the next. A burst of wind scatters them near and far. Toby’s initial poem for this piece captures this idea (you can read it below). He wrote a second poem for the piece and that is one included in the children’s book. It stays true to the same theme while adding a bit of self-belief and confidence.
