About This Book
The Dollhouse Fairy tells the tender story of Rosy, a young girl grappling with anxiety as her father is hospitalized. She retreats to the dollhouse he built for her, where she encounters Thistle, a tiny, untidy, and somewhat demanding fairy with a broken wing. Rosy takes on the responsibility of caring for Thistle, finding distraction and a sense of purpose in nurturing her magical guest. This gentle chapter book beautifully explores themes of worry, empathy, and finding comfort in unexpected places, making it ideal for children aged 4-11 who might be experiencing similar family challenges or simply enjoy a heartwarming fantasy.
Worried about her father's trip to the hospital, Rosy goes to play with the special dollhouse he built for her and finds Thistle, a very messy and mischievous fairy who needs a place to stay while her injured wing mends.
