A lovely, descriptive story using the relationship between fairies and humans

and the physical world they both share. Chock full of information that creates

positive references about nature. This story connects with children where they

are and inspires them to explore and respect their world.

“A Magical Day in Grandpa’s Garden” is a delightful book for children that uses

fairies to explain how our earth works. The fairies interact with the children in a

loving way, teaching them about the seasons and the elements. Each fairy

represents an element of our earth such as water, wind, fire, earth, and

teaches them the importance of each in maintaining our earth’s balance. This

is done with simple language and an engaging story.

—Pam Hauser, Mother and Grandmother

Fairyland comes alive in ‘A Magical Day in Grandpa’s Garden’’. Lady Lavender

takes the children to a fairy meeting where they are given important jobs and

they find out how you know you’re a grown up. I wanted to be there with them

when they became the size of bumble bees. Come and join Melora and

Cameron in this fun fantasy! A must read for anyone who loves fairies!
