Meet 10 fairy friends and find out all about their world in this gorgeous guide to fairies and what they can teach us about kindness and magic.

Fairies are real – but they just don’t like to be seen. Luckily, readers of The Secret Book of Fairy Friendship can learn the secrets of being a magical friend in this beautifully illustrated hardback book.

This heartwarming treasury reveals the tiny world of fairies that is hidden all around us. From their hidden homes and homemade clothing to their wings, origins, and customs, it’s the perfect guide to how the mystical fairy folk live.

Meet Leona the Sunshine Fairy who shines a magical spotlight on her friends to show how wonderful they are. There’s Ivy the Winter Fairy who builds adorable snow sculptures that come to life and play games with her friends. Florence the Forgiveness Fairy helps the other fairies to overcome problems in their friendships, while Boo the Surprise Fairy just likes to giggle and play silly tricks!

Interwoven with the well-loved elements of fairy and fantasy lore are ideas children can take to be more kind, thoughtful and supportive in their daily lives. The book includes hints and tips on how to find fairies, a look at how they live alongside their animal friends, and a fairy code of friendship that all fairies live by.

By reading all about the 10 fairies and their friendships, young readers can discover the value of kindness, listening and always being there for one another.
