The story is told by Célestine, a little girl. She remembers that once upon a time, in a mountain meadow, near her cottage, lived a big and beautiful flower, Sunflower. She spent her days, from morning to night, facing the sun. She drank in the rays of light and so became so big and bright. The other little meadow flowers, Daisy, Poppy, Colchicum, Violet and many others wondered what Sunflower's secret was. But one morning, a catastrophe occurred: the sun decided not to rise, because it was too tired and sleepy. Without sun, without light, Sunflower was condemned to wither and die. Fortunately, in the heart of the cold and desolate night, the bright moon will appear and come to the flower's rescue. But Sunflower will have to turn to the star and so she will become, that night... Sunflower !
