    When I Was a Fairy is a heart-warming tale about love, loss and growing old. Touching on themes of dementia, old age, and relationships between grandparents and their grandchildren, this is not only a story about fairies, but also on the magic of life and what we can share with one another from generation to generation.

    When I was a fairy, I used to dance on daffodils.
    I used to bounce on blueberries and ride on raindrops.
    When I was a fairy, mountains were molehills.
    Back when I was a fairy ... I'd almost forgot.
    "The illustrations are what stand out about this book, and will delight young children who love fairies and miniature, flower-filled worlds."
    —Youth Services Book Review
