THE FAERY'S GIFT Tanya Robyn Blatt & Nicoletta Ceccoli
The woodcutter's heart is full of longing: he has no children, his mother's sight has failed and the family feels the pinch of cold and hunger. One day, he spies a hawk circling its prey and is astonished to see a small man cowering nearby. It is a faery! He scares the bird away and in return is granted one wish. What can he wish for, when he and his family need so much? The woodcutter must make a difficult choice. Finally, he thinks of a solution that will make everyone happy! This enchanting story teaches children a wonderful lesson in generosity and ingenuity. (Suggested age-group 6-9.)
