    “Book Descriptions: Wanting to show her grandma a snowy American Christmas, Tessa mails a card with only a drawing of Christmas fairies and the words Ouma (that means Grandma) and Cape Town, South Africa. The letter carrier who finds it knows that it can’t go to Cape Town, so he puts it in his pocket. With no name, no street, and no stamps, how is Ouma ever going to get Tessa’s letter?

    Follow the magical journey of a child’s Christmas card traveling 10,000 miles across the world, from the hand of one stranger spreading cheer to another, all the way to Ouma. Is it kindness or Christmas magic? With gorgeous illustrations, hidden fairies on every page, and a heartwarming message of caring and connection, Christmas Fairies for Ouma shares Christmas joy and celebrates the love between a grandparent and grandchild.

    Editorial Reviews:
    “Christmas Fairies for Ouma is a sweetly crafted Christmas book that invites readers to believe in the joy, magic and kindness of the holiday season. The story’s expansive vocabulary and endearing artwork take readers on a whimsical journey showing that love and connection are the best gifts of all!”
    ---Marianne Richmond, bestselling author of I Love You So…& author of more than 70 titles. Nine million copies sold.

    “Christmas Fairies for Ouma celebrates the far-reaching love between a grandmother and grandchild, and the small acts of kindness that add up to real-world magic. The red line that follows Tessa’s letter from America to South Africa through these pages is so much more than the yarn that knits Tessa’s mittens—it is the thread of goodwill that connects person to person across miles and seasons.”
    ---Molly Beth Griffin, author of Ten Beautiful Things and The Big Leaf Leap

    “Christmas Fairies for Ouma is sure to inspire kindness and hope in young readers. I love how this story, infused with magic and love, celebrates the power of art. The journey of Tessa’s handmade card is a heartening reminder that there are good, helpful, compassionate people all over the world.”
    ---Artist Kayla Harren, award winning illustrator of A Friend Like You.
