My (almost) 6 year old granddaughter is a storyteller. Sometimes, to my great delight, she enhances the ones I tell her.
For the past two Christmases Ada has received handmade books from her “Grammy.” These are stories I have created involving the various races of fairies that inhabit both our yards. For instance, here in Florida we have mango fairies, grapefruit tree fairies, mushroom fairies and even starfruit fairies.
The adventures these little people take part in are subject to alteration and elaboration by Ada throughout the year. She informs me that they have babies, engage in what we humans might consider noxious behavior (such as eating bugs) and so forth. As you can see, Ada herself is a fairy, so it makes sense she would be so knowledgeable
