Book Synopsis

Fall into a different kind of fairy tale by Briony May Smith!

Mr and Mrs Wren are surprised when a tiny, wingless fairy hatches from one of their eggs. But they lovingly name her Tiny Jenny and raise her as their own.

Tiny Jenny – like all fairies – grows to be a menace in the woods. She digs up squirrel nuts and blocks mole hills. The other forest creatures are not happy. So Tiny Jenny decides it is time to leave her home and seek out her fairy family.

But it turns out the fairies are anything but welcoming!

 

Our Review Panel says...

What a stunningly illustrated and beautiful story by Bryony May Smith!

Meet Tiny Jenny  – a small, wingless fairy born into Mr & Mrs Wrens nest and brought up as one of their own. All is good until Tiny Jenny starts to question who she is and where she came from. So she sets out in search of those missing fairy wings and her true home.

Tiny Jenny is a strong, bold and feisty female heroine (not the fairy stereotype), who won’t take no for an answer. Mr and Mrs Wren are just as surprised when a tiny, wingless fairy hatches from one of their eggs. But they lovingly name her Tiny Jenny and raise her as their own. She digs up the squirrels’ nuts and blocks up mole hills. Her rebellious nature upsets the forest creatures and she begins to question her roots. But leaving her loving home doesn’t make it right. Only Tiny Jenny can make the changes and begin to realise the error of her ways.

Written with powerful twists and beautiful illustrations of magical woodland scenes, this will be a great classroom addition to share about knowing who you are and what is important to you.
