The Night Fairy

By John Glore
based on the book by Laura Amy Schlitz

When Flory’s wings are torn away, she must learn to survive in a world too big for a tiny fairy. Armed with fierce determination and an unlikely alliance with a hungry squirrel, Flory sets out to reclaim her power and find her place in the garden. Adapted from the beloved book by Laura Amy Schlitz, The Night Fairy is a luminous tale of courage, identity, and the quiet magic of transformation.
