About the author

Ursula Dubosarsky is an award-winning author of numerous books for children and young adults. About The Golden Day, her first book with Candlewick Press, she says, "The little girls watch, wonder, respond, change, and grow — and then their childhood is gone, forever. This element of the story, I suppose, is at least partly autobiographical. But, as I say — all of our teachers come home safe and sound in the end." Ursula Dubosarsky lives in Australia.

Reviews

[Sean Harding · Rating 3 out of 5]

No Australian child who has been to birthday parties has not encountered that particular Australian dish of Fairy Bread - bread, butter, and hundreds and thousands sprinkled on top. This tale is about a party with copious amounts of fairy bread, and what to do with all the left overs. The ending may be a bit subtle for the younger readers, but the parents will like it.

A party isn't a party without fairy bread, but what happens when there is so much fairy bread left over that you can't possible eat it all before it goes stale? Becky is faced with this problem, and comes up with all sorts of inventive solutions to her fairy bread problems.
This is a fun story, with a thinking outside the box theme.
