Faith, the little fairy, can't get to sleep. It's a lovely summer's night and magic is in the air, so she flies off to see who else is still awake.
Faith meets a mother fox and her young cubs, who can't get to sleep, an elf father whose children can't get to sleep, and the sandman who is filling sacks with magic dust to help children everywhere get to sleep. Finally the little fairy meets a moth-fairy prince who takes her to the source of the night's magic – a wonderful Midsummer Night's party – where she dances until she is so tired that she finally falls asleep.
This magical, dreamlike tale makes perfect bedtime reading.
Reviews
'Quite simply the most enchanting tale for bedtime.'
-- Creative Steps
'Little Fairy Can't Sleep is a lovely, dreamy, fairy story perfect for bedtime reading … Magical, mysterious paintings in tones of deep blue, gold, silver, and lavender make every page tingle with delight … The author has written six or more other titles about fairies and elves and merfolk, all as enchanting to young children as Little Fairy Can't Sleep.'
-- Midwest Book Review
'The brief, simple plot is clearly developed and offers a satisfying conclusion. Soft watercolors depict the fairy’s quest to find magic in the air, and they impart a dreamlike quality. The double-page illustrations suggest an enchanted world that is sure to appeal to readers.'
-- School Library Journal Review, February 2012
