Mister Fairy is not like other fairies; try as he might, he has not yet found his own special talent. In fact, all the animals laugh when he tries to copy what the other fairies do. So, Mister Fairy travels far from his forest home to another place where, almost by accident, he discovers and shares his special gift.
Sometimes your talent is hiding in plain sight, it just takes the right time and place to reveal what was there all along. Mister Fairy is a touching, humorous story about fitting in, self-discovery, and finding one’s place in the world.
“Humorously presented as a miniature elephant in a dress with itty-bitty wings and a wand, Mister Fairy’s tiny, solitary figure will engender chuckles as he deliberately flits across the pages, spreading color, smiles, and even cotton candy.
A delightful, lighthearted tale of self-discovery.”

“Mister Fairy cracks me up.
The character design is absolutely hilarious. He’s like a little grumpy elephant fairy and it’s brilliant. It’s a wonderful story of self-discovery with beautiful art, and it has a terrific artistic design for the forest animals and fairies that really makes this book stand out to me.”

“It was important to us to have a character who feels different and who struggles to find his place— it’s a way to talk about tolerance and diversity.”
