This was a bit more interesting than the average Rainbow Fairy book, the plot could actually be interesting if it wasn’t just swept through in a couple of chapters for each missing magical item.
The explanation of Downs Syndrome seemed a bit too complicated for a book aimed at young children, but it was nice to have a Fairy who was slightly different from the others. Her magical objects were all a bit lame though, I really wanted her to have more desirable magical objects, but I suppose they were aimed at kids who would want to dress up like her.
One of the better books of the Rainbow Fairies series, but still not a great read.

I really liked this book as it puts a really positive spin on Down Syndrome without being patronising or cute! It included enough factual information without being complicated. I also really liked the message about confidence and friendship. Will be buying lots of copies for friends!

Harper is a fairy with Down Syndrome. This read like any of the other Rainbow Magic fairy books and it was nice to see Harper representing kids with Down Syndrome. Our lower elementary students have had a resurged interest in the Rainbow Magic series, so this would be a good one to add into that.

Harper the Confidence Fairy, a fairy with downs syndrome. This book was truly amazing and the illustrations were lovely. I really enjoyed this book and the happy ending

Rainbow Magic is certainly not a series I am overly keen on but this collection of three stories has a wonderful theme of acceptance, confidence and understanding which I very much enjoyed.
