In a world where memories fade, a grandparent recalls a time of dancing on daffodils and riding raindrops. As dementia clouds the present, the magic of a fairy past offers a bridge to connect with grandchildren. Can these whimsical memories spark a deeper understanding and love across generations? Discover the enchanting journey of remembering and sharing life's wonders before they slip away.

From the publisher

When I Was a Fairy is a heart-warming tale about love, loss and growing old. Touching on themes of dementia, old age, and relationships between grandparents and their grandchildren, this is not only a story about fairies, but also on the magic of life and what we can share with one another from generation to generation. When I was a fairy, I used to dance on daffodils.I used to bounce on blueberries and ride on raindrops. When I was a fairy, mountains were molehills.Back when I was a fairy … I’d almost forgot.
