Book Synopsis
When I was a fairy, I used to dance on daffodils. I'd bounce on blueberries more often than not. I scaled lofty heights, but my mountains were molehills. Back when I was a fairy . I'd almost forgot. This picture book is a heart-warming tale about magical creatures young and old, and the love between a child and their grandparent. Bouncing, running, jumping and cartwheeling among the flowers - who is this adventurous sprite? Touching on themes of memory, magic and love between the generations, find out the secret of this energetic little fairy in this perfect book for reading together.

Trade Review
A magical tale of intergenerational bonding. * Simona Ciraolo, creator of Shy Ones *
With magical creatures aplenty adorning the pages so richly illustrated by Ewa Poklewska-Koziello, this rhyming tale of intergenerational love, memories and delighting in the natural world is a lovely one to share especially between grandmothers and their young grandchildren, particularly those who like stories with a touch of whimsy and enchantment. -- Jill Bennett * Red Reading Hub *
The illustrations are bright and fun (.) this would be a wonderful gift for a grandmother who is a special person for your child. -- @picturebookplaydate on Instagram
