Her tiny feet tickled, just like a caterpillar or ladybug. She could feel an odd mixture of cold and warmth tingling on her palm.The fairy smiled and said, "When you made this little garden, magic grew with your care. Each month a new fairy will come with words to share. We all bring special flowers which hold certain powers. Birth flowers tell the story of the month and those born within its days. They represent our strengths, our personalities and special ways.”“I’m the fairy of January and I grow the snowdrop and carnation. I bring deep love, happiness, hope, beauty and fascination. Those born in January are thoughtful and kind. They make a truly special friend for all to find.”Another snowball came sailing through the air just before Nateli could even speak, and the January fairy flew away."Like a birthstone, every month has a birth flower or flowers associated with it. This fully illustrated story uses fairies to describe the symbolic nature behind each flower. Month by month, a new fairy, dressed in the color of her birthstone, will greet the reader to describe the virtues of the birth flower and how they relate to personality characteristics. Original colored-pencil artwork on every page. Includes illustrated list of months, birthstones and birth flowers for easy reference. Geared towards older children who still enjoy picture books or younger children with a longer reading attention span - useful in preparing children to read longer literary works in the future.
