Chapter book
Sprout is a fairy with a fetish for shoes and a heart for adventure.
She has been given a very special assignment by the queen to help Taylor with
an attitude adjustment. Taylor just doesn’t know it yet. And she has a way with
words too. Sprout can make up the most exciting words when she wants to.
Changing Taylor’s attitude is no easy job. It takes others
to help the process including a chipmunk and a snail, a frog or two and other
quirky characters along the way.
REVIEW:
This is a charming and action filled chapter book that will
keep readers engaged in the story. The illustrations are beautiful and enhance
the imagination as do all the funny new words that sprout introduces the reader
to.
The reader will fall in love with Sprout and long for the
next adventure. Where will the queen send Sprout next?

About the Book:
Sprout is a fairy from Spritesville, Ohio. Her given name is Sprunetta Brunetta. She doesn’t like it, because she thinks it sounds too much like somebody’s wicked sister. Since she is only four inches tall, all her friends call her Sprout.
This little fairy is in the service of her queen, the beloved Splaminda Herminda, who rules Spritesville. The queen sends Sprout to different places to do whatever job needs done. Sprout is not a perfect fairy. She has a wild shoe fetish, and is always getting into
some kind of trouble. Queen Splaminda realizes Sprout’s problems, but feels the fairy will grow out of her awkwardness, as she matures. Somehow, Sprout always manages to save the good and meek from the scary and sometimes bad…but… occasionally, she needs a little help.
To say the least, it was an explosive meeting between Taylor and Sprout. Taylor’s dollhouse blows up and her wary investigation finds Sprout among its wreckage. The little girl obviously thinks Sprout is a bad, fibbin’ fairy and the fun is about to begin.
Available wherever books are sold and online.
About the Author:
Alyce Joy was blessed with four children for whom she composed bedtime verses every night. That inspired her to publish a children’s book of prayers, entitled, "Priceless Gems." When her children were grown, she began to write stories for her grandchildren.
Always fascinated with arts and crafts, she taught herself the art of pyrography. This fired her imagination, and she started burning life-sized pictures of wildlife onto all the doors of her home. Her wood burnings are scattered through the U.S. and Canada.
After deciding to put away her burning tools and torches, she enrolled in, and graduated from the Institute of Children’s Literature.
Alyce Joy hopes every child who reads her stories will look forward to each new adventure, as her favorite fairy becomes entangled into many, outrageous happenstances.
