Imagine the excitement of four children playing in the park when they discover a real, live fairy. Not just any fairy, but Stellaria, the chickweed fairy. Chickweed is one of their favorite healing plants and it turns out Stellaria was looking for them. She needs the children's help to restore the fading magic in the Fairy Herb Garden. When Stellaria takes them to her fairy home, the children find that restoring the magic means facing a troll. Can they figure out how to use chickweed to heal the troll's ailments? Will they be able to solve the riddle to guess her name? This story is the start of the Herb Fairies thirteen book series. Herb Fairies is a magical tale of plants and their remedies that teaches kids about the healing herbs.
Its a fun way to teach your kids about herbs, especially if you make the herbal preparations along with the characters in the book. Only docked one star because the writing quality isn’t stellar. Not bad really, no obvious mistakes, but not one I would select to read to my kids apart from the educational value of learning about herbs. That being said, the kids enjoy the story and have certainly learned some things. Perhaps the best thing about this series is that it stirs up curiosity about herbs which will hopefully lead to a lifetime love and study of herbs.
