Product Description 
Mister Fairy is not like other fairies; try as he might, he has not yet found his own special talent. In fact, all the animals laugh when he tries to copy what the other fairies do. So, Mister Fairy travels far from his forest home to another place where, almost by accident, he discovers and shares his special gift. Sometimes your talent is hiding in plain sight, it just takes the right time and place to reveal what was there all along. Mister Fairy is a touching, humorous story about fitting in, self-discovery, and finding one’s place in the world. 
 Review 
"A delightful, lighthearted tale of self-discovery . . . Humorously presented as a miniature elephant in a dress with itty-bitty wings and a wand, Mister Fairy's tiny, solitary figure will engender chuckles as he deliberately flits across the pages, spreading color, smiles, and even cotton candy." - Kirkus Reviews 
"A fantastic back-to-school story about recognizing your own worth." - Momreadit.com 
"This sweet picture book will teach young readers that we all have a gift to share with the world. I can't wait to share this with my little one!" - MutuallyInclusiveBooks.com 
"Mister Fairy cracks me up. The character design is absolutely hilarious. He's like a little grumpy elephant fairy and it's brilliant. It's a wonderful story of self-discovery with beautiful art, and it has a terrific artistic design for the forest animals and fairies that really makes this book stand out to me. - DadSuggests.com 
"BRAVO! Mister Fairy is going to be my "Start the Week Right" book. A valuable addition to all classroom, library, or personal collections. - Olivia The Librarian 
"Mister Fairy transcends the fairy story genre to offer a humorous and poignant look at self-discovery and finding one's place in the world. It's a book you and your kids will find yourselves returning to again and again and is enthusiastically recommended for all home, classroom, school, and public libraries. - CelebratePicturebooks.com

"Whimsical... readers can unleash their own imaginations.” —New York Times 
Fans of Peter Brown and Jon Klassen will cherish this inspiring story about exploration, curiosity and an unexpected discovery. 
There are wonders all around us ... Why not go see what you can find? 
Every day, perched high up in her tree house, a girl surveys the distant forest through her binoculars. She knows every plant and animal. 
But look! A strange new tree appears, towering above all the others. Where did it come from? Is it really a tree? 
Intrigued, the girl sets off to take a closer look. Just to see… 
Whimsical illustrations bring humor to an inspirational story about staying curious, finding wonder in nature, and seeing the familiar in new and unexpected ways.\nBlue Dot Kids Press books are printed with vegetable inks on responsibly-sourced paper certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. From the sale of every book, we donate to environmental causes through our membership with 1% for the Planet. Through our annual Earth Day Initiative with our partner One Tree Planted, readers have the opportunity to plant trees—over 1,000 trees planted to date!\nFrom School Library Journal\nPreS-Gr 1—Life is full of surprises, and this red-headed little girl faces them. Perched on the deck of her treehouse with her binoculars glued to her face, she observes the forest around her. One day, she sees branches soaring above her familiar forest and races out to explore. Rather than finding a tree, she discovers a deer with unusually long antlers. With the permission of the deer, she begins to climb, "just to see" what lies above, even though the unknown looms and she feels some trepidation. She discovers a magical, closely knit animal community within the antlers—rabbits and mice celebrating a birthday, taking baths, reading books, and tending talking plants. She also finds a gigantic sleeping snake, but she is able to slip by unnoticed. Like every adventurous spirit, she does not stop until she reaches the top and is rewarded with a gorgeous sunset and moonrise. Most of the text is contained in short speech bubbles and shows a young girl who is kind and respectful to the creatures she meets, in addition to being curious and a risk-taker. As in the works of Jon Klassen, Pigé conveys the excitable, quivering spirit of the young adventurer through simple and subtle changes to the shape of her eyes, her eyebrows, and her body position. The pastel tones of the illustrations wrap the "amazing" adventure in comfort. VERDICT A story celebrating the spirit of discovery—sure to inspire young nature explorers everywhere.—Sally A. James
