Description

Zaira is a little girl with an imagination so big that she can see dolphins in the town square fountain. One day, she is shocked to find the fountain empty. The children who play in the square and make fun of Zaira for telling make-believe stories are shocked too--when a real fairy arrives to help her. This story full of magic and fun embraces the amazing imagination that breathes life into both children's games and adults' dreams.
