'A great story about the importance of helping others... I would describe the illustrations in this book as sweet and precious. Stefanie Dahle does a wonderful job of showing a magical world of woodland fairies and animals... This book is a great tool to help young children understand the importance of helping others.'

'This book is beautiful inside and out. That's the first thing a reader will notice. The artwork is incredible. It mixes an adorable style with one that's more artistic and what you get are images you'll want to stare at, picking up each part...
I appreciate this book so much because Evie has a kind heart. There isn't a bratty bone in her body and it's refreshing to read a story like that with my niece...
Perfect for a six-year-old, keeping her attention throughout.
This was just a lovely book that is sure to become a favorite with kids.'

'I loved this imaginative book! The sweet story and the lovely characters made the whole book adorable! Evie's character is so cute and funny. I fell in love with her right away, and was truly interested in all the ups and downs of her journey to the strawberry fair. She is so good-natured and generous.
The artwork is enchanting with soft lines and beautiful colors. I loved all the little details in the background of each scene that add so much depth to the story. Fairy houses, little gardens, flowers, and tiny bugs and magic creatures all dot the landscape in various places, and add to the charm of this magical fairy world. I also love the subtle message that when you are generous with others, you will be rewarded for your kindness
This book is absolutely captivating!'

'Another charming tale by Dahle... It combines a magical world with teaching children that working together and caring for one another is sometimes more important than personal ambition. The vibrant hand-drawn detailed expressive illustrations are in a mix of pencils, watercolour paint, pastels and gouache making this a very appealing second story about Evie.'

'A home-and-away story without the homecoming resolution typical to childrens stories, which enhances rather than undermines its charm. Sweet.'
