What to Expect: Nature, seasons, fairies, friendship, bravery, and self-belief.
Bringing an end to winter is a very important task that takes a lot of skill and training to know how to do. Flora has learned from an expert—the keeper, Mrs. Winterbloom, who has taught her everything she knows. Unfortunately, Flora hasn’t been paying attention, and now that Mrs. Winterbloom is leaving for the year, it’s up to Flora to make the snowdrops bloom and Spring begin – but she can’t remember how! If she succeeds, the world will be rewarded with a beautiful spring. Luckily, she has her best friend, Yuna the Unicorn, to encourage her, and the two set off on a journey to find Mrs. Winterbloom and get the help they need. But will Flora have the courage to reach Mrs. Winterbloom beyond the fearsome forest, or will the world have to endure winter forever?
In this enchanting fairy story, bravery and self-belief are the perfect antidotes to irresponsibility and self-doubt. Readers will witness Flora, the heroine, transform into a strong, confident, caring character as the story unfolds. The wisdom of the teacher, Mrs. Winterbloom, and the friendship of Yuna the Unicorn, are also strong driving themes, underscoring the need for inner strength and outer support. The magical setting, with its deep forest, colorful meadows, and fairy characters, will transport readers to a world of wonder. The long-form prose text is written with simple vocabulary and engaging dialogue to support growing literacy skills.
The Snowdrop Fairy and the Rainbow Unicorn is a delightful new story that is perfect for fairy fans and for teaching important lessons about self-belief.
