Meet the Fairies

They’re tiny, winged, and sometimes so small they look like a glint of light. Each one has a very different job.

More fairies to imagine

Not in the books, just neighbors you might spot if you look closely.

The Dewdrop Fairy
Before the sun is fully up, she tips a dewdrop into a clover leaf for the smallest garden visitors. A thirsty beetle has never once gone without breakfast on her watch.
The Dream-Keeper Fairy
She gathers the pleasant bits of dreams before the morning light can carry them away. If you wake up smiling and can't remember why, she may have a piece of it in her basket.
The Lantern Fairy
She tends the tiny lights along the woodland paths so no one walks home in the dark. Her lanterns are made from acorn caps, and she polishes every one.
The Lost-Button Fairy
She notices the little things that slip beneath chairs or roll out of sight. If a button turns up exactly where you already looked, she was probably there first.
