Reviews

[Dinisha Sudarshani · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very nice book with a different kind of story.. love all the books of Janaki Sooriyarachchi...

[Nancy Mosqueda · Rating 1 out of 5]

Sooriyarachichis' vivid images are greatly appealing. This story about a young fairy could be very attractive to young readers. Although it is a fairy tale, it is a different one from the usual fairy tales we hear. This one, tells the story of daffodils.
