Fairies Don’t Fight

Nissa and Piper are twins—fairy twins!
 
In fact, they’re the first twin fairies that have ever bloomed in their field. All the other fairies expect that they will be best friends, frolicking happily among the magical mushroom caps and daisy petals.
 
But Nissa and Piper are as different as can be.
 
While Nissa sings loud, Piper wants to quietly read. When Piper wants to make dresses out of long vines, Nissa would rather swing on them until they snap! When Piper works hard collecting gems, Nissa is off chasing fireflies.
 
Will their differences get in the way of the fairy sisters being the very best of friends? Or will they lead to pouting, arguing, and tears?
 
Nissa and Piper must learn to get along! Because everyone knows that fairies play together all day and that fairies don’t fight!

Maya was Grumpy 

Maya was grumpy. She didn’t know why she was grumpy. She was just in a crispy, cranky, grumpy, grouchy mood. She didn’t want to read or color or eat banana slices or wear her favorite shorts or go outside and play. So she GRUMPED, GLUMPED, CLUMPED, and THUMPED around the house.

Can Grandma’s patience and humor coax Maya out of her bad mood?
