Items related to The Enchantment of Miranda: The Girl Who Grew Back
Six-year-old Miranda is considered an odd little girl, in part because of her insistence that she has invisible friends. (Her costumes, with too-long sleeves, bumble-bee jewelry, and pipe-cleaner feelers probably add to that impression.) Her mother worries about Miranda's over-active imagination, and her over-zealous eating habits. A misunderstanding leads Miranda to believe that her spirit friends have been permanently removed from her life. As an adolescent, Miranda struggles with day-to-day life. Although she has no idea why, she doesn't fit in at all with her peers. Lacking the comfort of the spirit friends of her youth, she has become a rather unimaginative and morose child. As an adult, Miranda thinks of adolescents as nasty little creatures who are to be avoided at all costs. Unexpectedly, she meets a child who changes all that, and who has questions that set them on the path to regain what they thought they had both lost. Adult Miranda discovers that, just like tonsils, other very important things may sometimes "grow back."

About the Author:
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: This is not a work of fiction. It is a memoir. The names of places and people have been reimagined in order to protect the names and the places... the magical creatures can protect themselves, and do not need my help. Thank you for taking the time to read these words. Peace to you and to all of your spirits. Namaste. ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATOR: The wondrous illustrations were drawn by Wen, who is a delightfully real person and a gifted artist who was kind enough to add her vision to what is now our story. She is a real person and a fictional one at the same time, which is easy for her because she is a magical creature herself. As I’m sure you can tell.
