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.
