A wordless picture book from an award winning master storyteller, Caroline Magerl. Every page weaves a spell of magic, warmth, humour and love. And sandwiches.
Ottily has decided that today will be magical. She pulls on her fairy dress, waves her wand and wishes for a fairy cake!
But instead, Dad gives her tomato sandwich.
Multi-award winning author-illustrator Caroline Magerl has created a wordless masterpiece in which her immersive, charming and humorous illustrations show us how love can create its own magic.
