The Teeny-Weeny Walking Stick is a heartwarming tale about Edward, a little boy who discovers that there are "little people" living at the bottom of his garden. His big sister Hattie doesn't believe him, so he sets out to bring her proof. The lively dialog between Edward and Hattie, and the magical fairy world, are captured beautifully by Lambert's whimsical illustrations.
