Signed copy! 

This is the second book of the Fairyland series by Dorothy Tully. Resourceful fairy girls and boys go on adventures, interact with animals, solve problems, and help each other. Genuine dialogue, lively characters focused on friendship, and adventure will draw you right into the fairy world.

Take a positive, fun journey into fantasy worlds of animals and magic that young readers (and their grownups) will love! Whether your child reads yet or not, Dorothy Tully's books are perfect for snuggling together and reading out loud.

I write tales of both everyday life and not-too-scary adventures that blend in gentle messages of gratitude, resilience, friendship, and other emotional skills. They are fun, comforting, and safe, as kids' books should be.

And some of the stories are just plain silly! ;)
