June 17, 2010 I signed books at Terra Toys in Austin as a part of their annual Fairy Tea Party event. Congrats to them for having hundred of girls and moms show up in a magical variety of wings and sparkly dresses!
This is me with Olivia Griffin Erikson age 6. Olivia’s mom told me they had read Birdie’s Book and were ready to get into Kerka’s Book now. Olivia’s favorite part of Birdie’s Book was when Birdie and Kerka swam with the River Maidens.
Of course, we all know Kerka was forced to swim because she was afraid of the water. Those sly River Maidens showed her that she could breathe under water and swim as well as Birdie. Sometimes we just need someone to nudge us into doing things. A gentle push into unknown territory is a good thing.
Thanks to Olivia, Terra Toys and all the girls who love fairies and the Fairy Godmother Academy!
