Fairy Feathers
Anna loves the garden and the woods because that is where her best friends live - the fairies. But school is a different matter. In school she feels alone and out-of-place. That is, until she has a remarkable dream about fairy feathers and the little itchy bumps can come when the feathers fall out. Anna wakes with a case of the chicken pox, and a new sense of herself at school.
