Bloom by Doreen Cronin illustrated by David Small*

This book is a bit different from Ms. Cronin's typical stories!!
In a glass kingdom, Bloom, a powerful fairy, is banished because she leaves a trail of mud and dirt wherever she treads.
The fragile kingdom is soon in disrepair.   So the king and queen search for Bloom so she can work her magic.  The royal figures, however, do not like her solution---mud--and leave in disgust.  With desperation, they send their least intrusive kingdom member-Genevieve.  Once Genevieve finds Bloom, Bloom quickly teaches her the solution to the problem and ultimately teaches her that "there is no such thing as an ordinary girl".
*Highly recommend.
A fun story!
Strategy: inferring author's message/fable moral
*Borrowed from the library.
