My Granddaughter's name is Bloom. It's a name that's been in her father's family for many years. A good friend of mine, Julia Rueger, is an accomplished dollmaker. She created a fairy doll and asked me if she could name her doll Bloom. Of course, I was thrilled. When I saw her doll, I was immediately inspired to write about her. I have pictured her here. She is magical. So, I bought the fairy doll, Bloom, and gave her to my granddaughter, her namesake, for Christmas. The exciting result is that I wrote this book. It is the story of Bloom, the Flower Fairy Princess of the beautiful Woods of Eire, also known as Ireland. In this book, you will read about her wondrous adventures and the fascinating friends she meets along the way. You will meet an adorable little tree frog, a beautiful Blue Fairy Wren bird, a very scary Troll and Bloom's Guardian Angel, a Golden Butterfly. Bloom's powers of magic will surprise and delight you! I hope you enjoy my book!
