🧚♀️ Pixie Pointe almost disappeared.
The original Pixie Pointe wasn't created for a book. It was a real little fairy garden I built at our home in Ohio, filled with tiny paths, a pond, little waterfalls, a fairy house and all sorts of little details.
When we moved to North Carolina, the garden didn't survive the move. And when my granddaughter, Sis, got old enough to really understand the pictures and stories about it, she was disappointed that she never got to see Nonna's fairy garden for herself.
That stayed with me.
Eventually I realized that while I couldn't bring the original garden back, I could bring Pixie Pointe back in another way.
So I used my photographs of the original garden to create Pixie Pointe: A Fairy Garden Adventure — a way for Sis, and now other children too, to explore that tiny world even though the original garden is gone. 🧚♀️🌸
I don't think I realized when I made that first book what I was starting. 😂
Sis certainly did.
She has plenty of ideas for more books she thinks Nonna needs to make, and Pixie Pointe has already grown far beyond that first adventure.
Looking at this book now, I don't really see the fairy garden we lost anymore. I see where all of this started. ❤️
And apparently, according to Sis, we're nowhere near finished. 😂🧚♀️
