Marky the Magnificent Fairy

A Disability Story of Courage, Kindness, and Acceptance

 

Believing in yourself isn’t always easy. Marky learns that firsthand when the other woodland fairies make fun of her. They laugh at her one small wing and say mean things about her fiery-red hair, her glasses and her freckles. It is hurtful, but through Marky’s determination, she helps them understand that everyone has exceptional qualities. Some are visible. Some are invisible. Through her kindness, Marky teaches her friends about self-love, confidence, acceptance, positivity and compassion. She reminds them they are magnificent. Readers of all ages learn to believe in themselves and the importance of treating everyone with respect and kindness.

“As a mother of three redheaded children, each with their own unique challenges that make them “magnificent,” and a blogger and published writer in the area of special needs parenting, I found this book insightful, educational, and charming. Marky’s fearlessness in the face of ridicule and self-acceptance of what makes her different set a shining example for those with disabilities who might be struggling to find their worth, and an example to those without disabilities who haven’t yet discovered the inherent worth in every person. Mrs. OBrien helps readers understand that it’s okay to be different, and that being kind to everyone can unlock divine potential! The fanciful illustrations by Jeff Yesh only add to the endearing quality of this children’s book.”
