This a self-helpish book for children teaching them about sharing.The story is about a young fairy and she's very selfish. She doesn't let anyone play on her tree or take the apples off the tree and she's a little but mean to people. After she sends other fairies and animals away from her things and she's alone she's happy at first, but then finds that she's a little bit lonely. She realizes that things aren't as good when you don't have anyone to enjoy it with. After the story the book has a few fun fairy facts too.
There is another book in the series called The Fairies Tell Us About Compassion.
This description is from Scholar's Choice:
The Fairies Tell Us stories are set in the land of fairies and enhanced with beautiful colour illustrated forest landscapes populated with animals and fairies. Each story presents a gently told lesson for boys and girls to learn about dealing with their friends and treating them considerately. Pages at the back of the book are devoted to fairy lore, facts about nature, and discussion points pertaining to the book’s story. In The Fairies Tell Us About Sharing, it’s springtime in the Forest of Dreams, and little Keyla the Fairy is waiting for her apple tree to come into bloom. But she refuses to share her land with the birds, butterflies, and her other friends because she’s afraid they will damage the tree and prevent it from bearing blossoms and fruit. As time passes she begins to feel lonely and sad, and she begins to realize her mistake. She hurries to her friends and apologizes to them, inviting them to join her at her tree. She realizes at last that being generous makes everybody happy, including herself.
