Gail Herman, formerly a children's book editor in New York City, has written picture books, easy-to-reads, and chapter books, including many titles in the Who Was/What Was series. She lives in Newton, Massachusetts with her family.
Dorrie the fairy feels like she is no good at anything. She trips and stumbles, she can’t spells right and even her fairy godmother is clumsy. Dorrie wonders if she will ever be good at anything.
This a good book for kids with low self esteem. I believe there is a young clumsy Dorrie in us all. Somedays it is just like that. Even though everyday seems to be like that for Dorrie, she still has friends, family and support. She a all around good fairy she just has to see it. Luckily her fairy godmother is smart enough to help.
