I like a book that looks interesting from the cover onward. What happens when a fairy gets jaded? In this story a fairy (who appears to have a great deal of difficulty granting wishes that go against her own gender stereotypes) decides she’d rather not grant wishes at all – A Fuse 8 Productions.A Different Kind of Fairy is a book that emphasizes being true to oneself – YA Books Central.Colorful, collage-like digital illustrations depict the children and fairies with a variety of skin tones and colorful clothes. – Association of California Libraries.
