The Fairies – Petal & Nettle and the Big Birthday Surprise: A magical, feel-good story about friendship and forgiveness

Welcome to the magical world of Petal & Nettle!

A feel-good tale about friendship, forgiveness, and why it’s not a good idea to take other people’s things without asking.

Petal is planning a SPECIAL birthday surprise for her best fairy friend, Nettle.

In an effort to be ‘very thoughtful’, she forgoes MAGIC in favour of doing it ALL herself – the hard way.

When Petal finds EVERYTHING she needs just lying around, she can’t believe her luck. Surely no one will mind her taking them without asking… will they?

It’s set to be an unforgettable birthday surprise… and not JUST for Nettle!

The story is brought to life through the award-winning, beautiful, illustrations by the super-talented Tilia Rand-Bell.

Ideal for fans of magical tales such as Julia Donaldson’s The Princess and The Wizard, or Ben and Holly’s Little Kingdom.

Includes a download link to a FREE printable activity pack for use at home or school.

Review:
“A sweet modern fable with characters who’re instantly loveable. The illustrations are a vibrant riot of colour and magic – perfect for capturing the joy of a birthday party. I also love the fact that there’s representation of a boy fairy – something rarely seen in picture books. Big thumbs up.” The Little Literary Society(Instagram @thelittleliterarysociety)
