She could hear dandelions roaring

Quote of the week:

She could hear the grass singing to itself and the trees in the park murmuring in deep, sleepy voices. She could hear dandelions roaring and weeds pushing up out of cracks in the city pavement, and she could hear the slow voice of the sea saying "Old! Old! Old!" as it fell on the beach at the edge of town. Everything that was green Minnie could hear with her green ear.

- Margaret Mahy, The Girl with the Green Ear
