Bookroo's summary

Emmelina, a fairy with a mind of her own, prefers muddy adventures with frogs over dainty fairy duties. But can she earn her wings while breaking the fairy code? As she challenges tradition, Emmelina must navigate the delicate balance between individuality and conformity. Will her unique spirit be her downfall or her greatest strength? Dive into a whimsical world where pink isn't the only color that matters, and discover if Emmelina can truly find her place among the fairies.

From the publisher

Wearing pink and tiptoing through the dewdrops is for wimps! Emmelina would rather play with her friends, the frogs. But can a fairy with an independent streak earn her wings if she goes against the fairy code? Warm, humorous, and with just the right amount of pink (and mud), here’s a book that will capture the hearts of girly-girls and tomboys alike.

4.5

“This book has a great overarching message that we all have individual talents that we can use to help others and that we're all needed to make the world a better place! I also appreciated that it showed how even when we're different or feel like we don't fit in, we can always contribute in our own way. The story was a little predictable, in my taste, and a little blatant with the lessons.”
