This is a children’s book that starts with the girls (perhaps the older girls) making daisy chains or crowns (or dandelion chains?)
There may have been reference to one of the girls using her long thumbnail for it.

“Martin Pippin In The Daisy Field” by Eleanor Farjeon?
This sounds so familiar! Was there something about the younger girl not being satisfied with making daisy chains, and wanting to do other more exciting things instead?
