Synopsis

A Magical Wish...
If you were a fairy who could make a big wish, what would your wish be?

The River Fairy lives in an enchanting crystal house by the lazy Dream River. What more could she possibly want? With the help of a dazzling magical crown, the fairy's most desired wish comes true! Can you guess what her wish might be?

The story concludes with the message that delighting in the innocence of childhood is even more amazing than all the magical things we make up. Childhood is an amazing, magical gift. She realizes that the best parts of childhood are to be able to read adventurous tales, play games, and dream beautiful dreams, which is what this fairy wants most.

This lyrical story reveals the River Fairy's wish through song accompanied by the colorful, whimsical artwork of Anastasia Yatsunenko. Much of the tale follows the tune of the old folk song "Green Grass Grows All Around," and children will love the singsong quality of the story. The audiobook edition of The River Fairy's Wish features the singing talents of vocal actor Megan Rutledge. Listen to the provided sample to hear this wonderful story that your child will surely love.

About this title

From the Author

The inspiration for this story was the poem "The Song of Wandering Aengus" by W.B. Yeats, which is one of my favorite classic Irish poems. In it, a magical being, a little silver trout, turns into a girl with apple blossoms in her hair, and she disappears into the morning light to be forever pursued by the man who witnessed this amazing transformation.
