Bookroo's summary

Lily May, Martha, and Matt dive into imaginative play, transforming into cars and wobbly Jell-O. But Lily May dreams of being a fairy, complete with wings and wand. Will her wish come true amidst the playful chaos? Discover the magic and surprises that unfold when friends embrace the power of imagination.

From the publisher

Accept an invitation to play–and see what a pair of fairy wings can do! When Martha wants to play cars, Martha, Matt, and Lily May turn into beep-beep cars in a traffic jam. And when Matt wants to be wibbly-obbly Jell-O, all three of them shake and wiggle away. But Lily May really wants to play fairies. She even brought her wings and her wand. Will she ever get her wish? With a simple narrative and bright, child-friendly illustrations, Sue Heap captures the give-and-take - and the unpredictable magic - of play time.
