Customer Reviews

A magical story!

My daughter loves the pictures and the part of the hummingbird. This book teaches about forgiveness and about helping each other throughout life through the rough times. Lovely book for children.

A great little read!

This is a beautifully told and illustrated story about a night fairy discovering the wonders of daytime in the blooming garden of a diligent giant. I especially loved the praying mantis part.
