When Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane and their baby brother go digging in the gravel pit, the last thing they expect to find is a Psammead - an ancient Sand-fairy! Having a Sand-fairy for a pet means having one wish granted each day. But the children don't realize all the trouble wishes can cause. This is a timeless classic with an introduction by Quentin Blake, award-winning illustrator and first-ever Children's Laureate (1999-2001).

"It smells like sunshine,
It sounds like whispers,
It looks like rainbows...
It feels like love."
This is a book for young children who are dealing with grief. Chris Gurney's sensitively written prose shows children it is okay to feel sad, and that comfort can be found in simple things.
The vibrant, evocative illustrations are by Lael Chisholm.
