Lily's Dream, from the New York Times bestselling illustrator of Parker Looks Up, Bea Jackson, is the first in a new line of children’s books about magic and friendship told with warmth, kindness and wonder.

This enchanting picture book introduces a magical fairy world inhabited by Black fairies, where little Lily befriends a human girl named Willow and discovers her own magic. This wonder-filled story is perfect for families and fairy lovers of all ages looking for colorful representation in magical worlds! Lily is a young fairy determined to learn to fly just like the others who soar on shimmering, jeweled-colored wings, but she’s worried her own colorless wings will never lift her off the ground. Then she meets a young girl named Willow who helps her not only discover her special magic, but the truly magical gift of friendship. Together, Lily and Willow create a safe space to learn from each other and grow despite their differences. And through their connection to the environment, they come together without any fear, bias or selfishness.
