Synopsis

One day, the King and Queen of a fairy kingdom receive an unfamiliar gift. That gift is a little daughter who is unlike anyone else in the kingdom. They all love her and celebrate her arrival. But then, a Shadow crosses the land and places a curse upon the little daughter, causing her to be different, delayed, unable to speak or walk. Three magic fairies try to overcome this curse by giving gifts to the girl. But the curse can only be broken when the girl herself discovers her unique powers. An unfamiliar twist on a familiar fairy tale, Laura Loyola wrote this story for her daughter Emma, who has an extremely rare disease. Laura hopes this story expresses the value of every child and conveys to Emma, and children like her, that they are a gift to the world. See www.spumitaem.com
