Follow the enchanting, beautifully illustrated story of Mimi, a young girl who longs to see fairies in her garden.

Mimi was a perfectly ordinary girl who lived a perfectly ordinary life. She had toys to play with, a little brother who wasn’t too annoying, and cakes on her birthdays. Mimi didn’t want many things. But there was one thing she wanted so very much, so very much indeed… to see a fairy in her garden.
 
Poor Mimi spends hours and hours making her fairy garden completely perfect, but the fairies never come. Whatever could she be doing wrong?

Just when she has given up all hope, some twinkling lights appear. They’re here! And they are bringing an important message…

With captivating artwork from Isa Bancewicz, and activity spreads at the back which tell readers how to create their own, perfect fairy garden this beautiful story will capture readers’ imaginations.

And, just maybe, it will help them attract fairies to their own gardens!

As with all new Ivy Kids titles, this book is printed on 100% post consumer recycled paper... it's a planet friendly book!

A big thank you to the publisher for gifting me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! I'm always so thankful to have these opportunities! 

Today we have a book that has a 4 triquetra rating of "I really liked it." First, although I had a digital copy of this book, I'm really happy to see that the book will be printed on 100% post consumer recycled paper, and it'll be printed in the USA, which makes the shipping carbon footprint decrease a TON. Really happy to see publishers being a bit more eco-friendly! 

This story is adorable, and there's a bit of a twist involved that makes this Fairy Witch/Pagan very happy! I was worried that this book was going to further push the twee fairy stories onto folks, and it does, a bit - it's a mainstream children's picture book, after all - but that important message the fairies bring to Mimi at the end of the story make it Pagan friendly, Earth friendly, in my opinion! 

If you're looking for an Earth-friendly, nature spirit book for the upcoming Earth Day holiday, then this one is for you! 
I believe Pagan parents and caregiver's will find it especially lovely.
