Behind The Book with Verity Fairy Series Author Caroline Wakeman
The Verity Fairy early chapter book series gives readers ages 5–7 a behind-the-scenes look at classic fairy tales like Sleeping Beauty and Rapunzel. Told from the perspective of a truthful young fairy named Verity, these stories teach kids that even though we sometimes get things wrong, we should always do our best to make it right again!
Why mix social-emotional issues with fairy tales? Series author, Caroline Wakeman, says:
“I felt this was the easiest and lightest way to encourage children to discuss similar problems in their world. I often found that my own children would be much more open to discussing any issues at school during their bedtime story with me.”
