About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is desperate for more independence or is pleading for a pet to prove they are a big kid. Daisy Takes Charge is a gentle entry into the Wilderness Fairies series, following a young fairy who dreams of having her own animal companion. It beautifully captures the internal tug-of-war between the excitement of a new responsibility and the daunting reality of the work involved. Daisy must demonstrate she is reliable enough to care for a creature, teaching young readers about the value of patience, the necessity of trust, and the quiet pride that comes from a job well done. It is a perfect choice for children aged 6 to 9 who are transitioning into longer chapter books and need a story that validates their desire for autonomy while modeling compassionate behavior toward animals and nature.
