Dew Falls Lightly by Mary Brodsky is a powerful story, and the first of a fairy series, that reinforces the importance of helping others and understanding the significance of personal roles. Diversity is the overarching theme here, with each fairy and character illustrated by an artist with a keen eye for fairies that represent girls of every shape, color, and culture.

Can a fairy wear glasses? YES!

Dew is the Fairy in charge of providing the morning dew in Forever Forest and the story begins with Dew flying through the air with little regard for her surroundings because she is late to perform her daily responsibility. Brodsky writes, "The little fairy known as Dew was late. The morning was on its way and she hadn't even begun to prepare for it. She must get below the waterfall and fill her tiny teardrop wand with the magical healing dew water from the milky pool beneath."

Dew Falls Lightly is a wonderful reminder of the beauty that we all have inside of us. The most important thing we can do for ourselves is make others happy and our happiness and content will follow naturally.
