Woad and Toad

Woad & Toad
Join Woad & Toad as they work together to save each other's lives when outside forces threaten Woad.

Woad & Toad is the first in the Misunderstood Plant Tales series.

Language about “invasive” plants sets a dangerous precedent for ourselves, our children and the planet, blaming the plants
and earth for trying to heal and course-correct from our poor decisions.

The Misunderstood Plants commonly referred to as “invasives” (also known as outsider, alien, intruder, enemy,
and evil) are misunderstood, underrated, undervalued and demonized.

If the plants could speak our language they would tell us that they identify as: Tenacious, Vigorous, Protective, Determined,
Powerful, Persistent, Eager, Generous, Friendly, Helpful, and Big‐Hearted. They would ask us to think differently—to open
our eyes and explore what they are offering us and the earth.

Join Woad—and the others in the Misunderstood Plant Tales: Mrs. Knotweed, The Three Artemisias, Kudzu,
Dandelion and Little Barberry—on their adventures with their friends as they make their way through adversity with
appreciation, understanding and love.
