From #1 "New York Times "bestselling author Doreen Cronin and Caldecott Medal winning illustrator David Small comes a picture book about how an extraordinary ordinary girl can save a kingdom with the help of a mud fairy. A glass kingdom is no place for a Mud Fairy. Bloom and her mud fairy magic might be able to turn weeds into flowers and spin sand into glass, but the people of the kingdom ceaselessly complain about the trails of dirt and puddles of mud that seem to follow her every step, and finally they cast her out. But when the glass castle begins to crack, then cracks some more, the King and Queen in a panic search for the long-banished fairy, but they can t find Bloom anywhere. Desperate to save their home, they send their meekest, most ordinary subject, a girl named Genevievewhose sole task until now has been to polish the Queen s crystal sugar spoon to coax "any "worthy fairy to come and save the kingdom. Genevieve finds Bloom exactly where the king and queen failed to see her, and Bloom knows exactly how to save the kingdom. But it will take the two girls working together, along with a mighty dollop of self-confidence and some very messy hands to accomplish the extraordinary."

5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book is muddy brilliant. But it‘s hard to explain why without giving the story away. Lets just say its about an ordinary girl learning she is extraordinary. All from a little mud and fairy dust.

“Tell them there is no such thing as an ordinary girl.” A fairy tale where practicality and hard work are what save the kingdom. “I am here!” she announces, and then she rebuilds the world.

I ❤ this book! The message is amazing! No one should ever feel small or incapable. Anyone can achieve greatness with an open mind, a willingness to learn, and hard work. Since March is women's history month, I'll definitely be fitting this into a story time. #shatteringglassceilings
