Sam is a happy sunflower and always optimistic. Wherever he is, he is always looking up at the sky and staring at the sun. He is a dreamer and wishes he could fly and meet the sun in person. With his cape he often imagines he can fly and make his dream come true. Wouldn’t it be cool to be a flying superhero? It sure is his favorite game. But when people are near he turns around and looks like an ordinary sunflower. He enjoys spending time with his friends in the field. And when the people are gone and the coast is clear, he and his friends come back to life…
