Grumbalina Book

Float on over to Pufftown in these whimsical new children’s books written by Karina Frederiks. Anything can happen when you live on a cloud – but not everything will feel like a fairytale. Grumbalina illustrates to children that there are some challenges magic can’t solve. Sibling struggles, laziness, loneliness, boundaries, and pollution are all topics that the fairies of Pufftown must face together. We hope these stories inspire family-wide conversations around the power of inclusion, kindness, fairness, and gold stars! The Day Everything Changed: On a cloud not too far away, all the little fairies of Pufftown are getting ready to head back to school. There’s only one word on Grumbalina’s mind: “Mugglefrump”. She doesn’t want to learn any new spells, start any new classes, or try any new things. She just doesn’t want to go at all. Grumbalina is convinced that she’ll never make friends or earn a golden star. But just like magic, everything is about to change for her. Will this school year be able to turn her fairy frown upside down Cardboard Wand:  School is a little less scary now that Mitchy’s around. But even with a friend by her side, Grumbalina isn’t exactly excited about class today. The two of them “forgot” to practice their spells last night like they were instructed to. She knows that Ms. Plume will be testing some students in front of the class, and with her luck, she’ll be the first one up. This isn’t the first time Grumbalina has had to “wing” her spells, but she’s not sure her skills are going to hold up for her again. Will she get through the day without any magic mishaps? Mitchy and the Golden Wand:  Grumbalina’s older sister, Perfect Polly, is off on a spell trip with the Wizards of Norton today. And you know what that means: NO RULES! Of course, Mitchy is over for the weekend, and he points out that it’s the perfect time to try out some of Perfect Polly’s wands and their powers. If her sister isn’t home to tell them “no”, they can’t get in trouble... right? There’s also no way anyone will even find out if they put everything back where they found it… right? We’ll have to wait and see! Join them on their sneaky adventure by bringing home “Grumbalina And The Golden Wand”. Flower Power Spell:  It’s an important day in Ms. Plume’s class of Magic Spells. Today, Grumbalina and her fellow fairies are learning all about the causes and effects of pollution. Pufftown’s waste problem has gotten so bad that recycling and community cleanups just aren’t doing the trick anymore. Her entire class must memorize and master their Nature Spells, and they have to do it FAST. They’ve all heard that the Flower Power spell isn’t for beginners, and they’re about to learn why. Will Ms. Plume’s students be able to save the day along with their cloud?
