About This Book
Reach for this book when your child expresses frustration about not being able to do something their friends or siblings can do effortlessly. It is an ideal choice for the preschooler who feels 'left behind' in milestones like riding a bike, climbing, or swimming, and needs to see that their own timing is perfectly okay. The story follows a young fairy who struggles to fly while her peers soar above her, but she eventually discovers that her grounded perspective allows her to find magic that others miss. Tina Macnaughton uses gentle, sparkly sensory elements to engage young readers while addressing heavy feelings of jealousy and inadequacy. The book normalizes the experience of being 'different' and shifts the focus from what a child cannot do to the unique gifts they possess. It is a comforting, visually stimulating read that reinforces the idea that every child blooms in their own way and at their own pace.
