How the Tooth Fairy Came to Be

by Kathy Patalsky

Everyone in Glinda’s family has something magnificent to do. Her mother paints sunsets. Her father grows great trees. Her aunt catches wishes from shooting stars.

But Glinda prefers rescuing ladybugs and tending the tiniest flowers.

Then an old willow tells her about something very small that humans have never quite known how to look after: a baby tooth.

What follows involves tiny treasures, a great deal of tiptoeing, and a garden that grows something no one expected.

The old willow arching over a round cottage door beside a silver brook at dusk.
A tiny fairy in a pink dress stands on a leaf beside a ladybug, near a round cottage door beneath a blooming lilac bush.

Meet the fairy

Glinda
