My Very Own Fairy myveryownfairy.com Did you know that you have a fairy of your very own? You have probably forgotten your fairy or (if you are very young) haven't met your fairy yet, but five sisters were fortunate enough to meet their very own fairies and to have amazing adventures with them. As you follow the story, each sister meets her fairy at a different time. What fun the sisters and fairies have together! It takes a great deal of patience to wait until each sister is old enough to meet her fairy, but finally, even the youngest has a fairy of her own to play with. They have a memorable meeting with the spider king, who is very nice. They also meet a goblin and a satyr, who are not so nice. They encounter messenger gnomes and leprechauns, who can be helpful, but who can also be annoying. They visit enchanting (and sometimes scary) places in Fairyland. They have a chance to meet their parents' fairies as well! THE AUTHOR The author is happily living in Washington State with her husband of 40 years. She has two daughters, a grandson (whom she and her husband have adopted) and five granddaughters. She collects nativities and stamps, and still has a large Star Trek and Star Wars collection. Her hobbies are reading, cross-stitching, and playing games on the computer. She has been writing poems and songs since she was a teenager. THE ILLUSTRATOR I was fortunate to find a fantastic illustrator from Lithuania, Gintaras Šeškus, who has done 34 pictures for the book, as well as the cover. He is a chemical engineer in Vilnius, and does freelance drawings in his spare time. He is happily married with a daughter, Amelia.
