Evie is a determined, ingenious and bright little Strawberry Fairy who lives in an old teapot. Join Evie and her friends, the flower fairies and creatures of Wildberry Acres, on their magical adventures in this second book in the Evie the Strawberry Fairy series.
 
Evie is determined to win first prize at the Strawberry Fair with her amazing hot-air balloon! But on the way to the competition the creatures of Wildberry Acres need her help. What is most important to Evie: winning or helping others?
 
Through Evie's adventures young readers will learn about the natural world -- how plants grow and how all living things are connected. This is a story about creativity, putting others first and lending a hand. Stefanie Dahle's illustrations are charming, detailed and full of character and fun.
Praise for Evie the Strawberry Fairy:
 
'I love how the story helps us understand how all of nature is interconnected. The detailed, colourful illustrations combine the natural world with fairies, reminiscent of childhood favourites.'
-- Juno Magazine
 
'This is a charming tale... It combines a magical world with teaching children about how plants grow, how all living things are connected and how working together, caring for each other and fixing mistakes can make a difference. The vibrant hand-drawn illustrations in a mix of pencils, watercolour paint, pastels and gouache are detailed and expressive and are sure to endear Evie to young readers.'
-- Outside In World
 
'A home-and-away story without the homecoming resolution typical to children's stories, which enhances rather than undermines its charm. Sweet.'
-- Kirkus Reviews
 
'I could see slowly reading this book with a young child so they can notice all the illustrations that enrich the text.'
-- Youth Services Book Review
