I love that it says there are boy fairies, girl fairies, and “darling little sillies that aren’t quite sure what they are.” Hooray for non-binary representation, no matter how small.

I can’t decide how I feel about this book - a strange mix of whimsical and menacing. There’s a lot of subtle menace and casual brutality for a childrens book, underneath the veneer of childish wonder.
