Dixie is a fairy who has a challenge among all of the graceful fairies in the Land-of-Pixie: she has only two wings while all the others have four. Dixie tries and tries but is unable to stay up in the air when her two wings get jumbled in the wind. One day Dixie finds herself in a situation where she must face up to her fear of failure in order to save someone in danger. In the process she deals with her doubts about whether she's a worthy fairy or whether she should keep wishing to be something she's not.
Sheri Hood's story is imaginatively sweet and the rhymes are
unpredictable and appealing. The message of challenging
oneself and facing one's fears gives the book depth and
allows the story to be more than just pretty pictures and
catchy rhymes. M. Faith Shaheen's illustrations are
delicately whimsical and flow elegantly with the story. As a
whole, a pleasure to read.
