The charming story and beautiful illustrations bring the fairy world to life.

When Chloe, a fairy whose good-natured clumsiness is legendary among her fairy friends, dreams of Lily, a lonely girl across town, she sets off on an adventure to help. Lily has just moved to a new school where she struggles without any friends and with the added difficulty of dealing with Nick, the class bully, who seems to have singled her out. Chloe joins Lily at school and tries to help her make new friends. Along the way, Chloe realizes Nick is not a bully at all but instead is just as lonely as Lily. Chloe uses her clumsiness to her advantage as she devises a messy scheme to help Lily find friendship.

Chloe, the Clumsy Fairy, is written with delightful rhyme and rhythm and has been illustrated in watercolor by Lester Lee. The charming story combined with beautiful illustrations bring the fairy world to life with vibrant detail.

Chloe is one of seven Summermeadow fairy dolls coming this fall in stores and online.
