Jethro Byrd, Fairy Child

A parent might reach for this book when they want to nurture their child's belief in the unseen magic of the world, or to gently introduce the idea of accepting and protecting those who are different. The story follows a young girl, Annabelle, who discovers a family of tiny, winged fairies living in a crack in the pavement outside her home. Instead of grand adventure, the book focuses on quiet acts of kindness: Annabelle's family helps mend the fairies' clothes and protects their home from wet cement. This gentle, heartwarming tale is perfect for children ages 4 to 7, celebrating empathy, wonder, and the quiet joy of a shared, magical secret.
