Over the next several weeks many students across the country will be graduating. It could be a college graduation, high school graduation, middle school graduation, elementary graduation (or “stepping up” ceremony) or even a Kindergarten graduation.
If you happen to have to have a young girl in your life (daughter, granddaughter, niece…) who loves fairies and princesses and happens to be graduating soon, I have an adorable book that she might enjoy. It’s called The Very Fairy Princess: Graduation Girl! Its the newest book in The Very Fairy Princess series.
The book, and the series, is written by none other than Julie Andrews and her daughter, Emma Walton Hamilton.
While her friends and family may not believe in fairies, Geraldine knows, deep down, that she is a VERY fairy princess.
This is the sixth adventure in the adorable, sparkly, sweet Very Fairy Princess series from celebrated children’s book author Julie Andrews (best known for The Sound of Music, Mary Poppins and The Princess Diaries) and her daughter Emma Walton Hamilton.
In this new tale, the end of the school year is here, and Very Fairy Princess Gerry is getting ready to graduate! She always loves a celebration, but can’t help but feel a little sad as she empties her cubby, takes down her art projects, and says goodbye to her class pet, Houdini the hamster. She’s also a little nervous about leaving Miss Pym… what if her new teacher doesn’t let Gerry wear her wings and crown? Change can be hard, even for a fairy princess!
Thankfully, she realizes that new things can bring their own sparkle. A perfectly delightful addition to your child’s bookshelf.
I haven’t read the book but it sounds delightful. I’ve seen a few illustrations from the book too and it looks like an adorable story.
I never knew that Julie Andrews was a children’s author. She’s actually written several books.
Julie Andrews is one of the most recognized figures in the world of entertainment, best known for her performances in The Sound of Music, Mary Poppins, and The Princess Diaries. Julie has been a celebrated children’s book author for over thirty years, and her works include Mandy, The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles, and the Little Bo series. Her memoir, Home, was #1 on the New York Times bestseller list.
Her daughter, and co-author of The Very Fairy Princess series, is Julie’s daughter, Emma.
Emma Walton Hamilton is a bestselling children’s book author, editor, arts educator, and theater professional, and author of Raising Bookworms: Getting Kids Reading for Pleasure and Empowerment. Together with her mother, Julie Andrews, she has coauthored many books for young readers, including the New York Times bestselling Very Fairy Princess series, the Dumpy the Dump Truck series, Simeon’s Gift, The Great American Mousical, and the New York Times bestselling Julie Andrews’ Collection of Poems, Songs, and Lullabies, a book for families to treasure and share.
