Join Dana, the adventurous fairy from the delightful Backyard Faeries series, in her enchanting new tale, Dana and the Wisdom of Grandmother Maple. Living in a cozy house in a backyard under a large maple tree in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Dana wakes one day inspired by the beauty of her magical flower friends. Her big plan? To craft a handbook of flowers and their magical and healing properties.
An unexpected adventure begins when Dana, walking instead of flying to better connect with nature, stumbles upon the mysterious Grandmother Maple. Revealing herself through the wind-rustled leaves, Grandmother Maple tells Dana a secret - she's unwell. Still, the local tree community is helping her heal. She asks Dana to spread the word about trees' importance and magical abilities.
Dana, awestruck and moved by the wisdom and kindness of Grandmother Maple, decides to take action. She races home to share her incredible discovery with her family, who all agree - it's time to rally the backyard community, faeries and humans alike, to honor the wisdom of Grandmother Maple and protect the trees.
This beautifully woven tale is filled with warmth, magic, and an important message about nature's interconnectedness. Perfect for readers aged 8 to 10 and anyone young at heart who believes in the power and magic of the natural world.
