Fairiest Fairy
From bestselling and award-winning illustrator, Ros Beardshaw, this heartwarming picture book about kindness and friendship proves that being a true fairy isn't all about being pretty in pink
By Waterstones Prize shortlisted author, Anne Booth, and illustrated by Ros Beardshaw, winner of the 2019 Sainsbury's Children's Book of the Year Award.
Poor Betty! She's always getting into messy muddles. She can't paint a rainbow or scatter dewdrops and her pirouettes are, well, pretty precarious. You see, with so many animals to rescue and friends to help, there's just no time for Betty to practise all the things a fairy should. But when it comes to the Fairy Ball, Betty's friends return her gifts of kindness and it becomes clear who is actually the fairiest fairy of them all.
With a delightful, rhythmical rhyming text and an adorable cast of animals and fairy toddlers, this is a perfect bedtime story for any little fairy.
