The Lavender Mud Fairy von Linda P. Geiger

The story of a tiny fairy and her star friends who learned to let their light shine...no matter what! Liddya is a tiny, sweet fairy with a magical lavender gown, who lives inside an old deserted rabbit hole with her tiny, charming star friends. Each one of them glows with a very different, but very special, kind of light. One day they glimpse the beautiful blue sky above and the meadow that surrounds their home. But when they try to go exploring they're thwarted by a lumpy bumpy rabbit who guards the entrance. When an unexpected rain shower covers Liddya and her stars with mud, and hides their magical light, they discover they can slip unseen past the mean ol' rabbit. Off they fly to exciting new adventures with an array of characters to help them-and sometimes challenge them-along the way. There are the friendly, waving pine trees who come to Liddya's rescue when she needs it most, and a traveling fox whose invitation for a wild ride turns out much different from what Liddya expects. There's the beautiful Lake Behind the Pines, a troop of very honorable firefly scouts, and even a fiery dragon! When all is said and done, Liddya and her star friends learn about the value of friendship and the importance of having the courage to let their light shine, no matter what! The Lavender Mud Fairy is a delightful tale with inspiring lessons for every young reader.
