Buy it: The Mud Fairy
The Mud Fairy (By Amy Young) – Emmalina is a fairy who is having a hard time staying neat and dainty as a fairy should. She likes to play in the swamp with the frogs. And while the other fairies earn their wings opening flowers, sprinkling dewdrops and making rainbows, Emmalina finds out she’s not very good at these tasks. As Emmalina is looking for something she is good at, her frog friends come to her with a problem. The frogs are worried because their children don’t jump or catch flies. Emmalina explains that they are only tadpoles, but in time they will be frogs. In the mean time, Emmalina stays in the swamp to protect the tadpoles until they become frogs. When she gets home she is a muddy mess, but the fairy queen gives Emmalina her wings for helping the frogs and she becomes known as the Mud Fairy.
