Julie Andrews, a life-long entertainer, has written many books for children, as well as several with her daughter, Emma Walton Hamilton.  This book is for all fairy princesses!  Geraldine knows exactly what is required of a fairy princess.  Her sparkle really shines when she sings and dances.  In ballet, she is disappointed when another girl, Tiffany, is chosen to be th Crystal Princess.  Geraldine’s costume is for the jester and, disheartened, she loses her sparkle.  However, she still wears her crown under the jester’s hat.  She falters and trips during her solo.  But when Tiffany’s crown is broken, Geraldine saves the day as she loans her crown to Tiffany.  Her sparkle returns.  Christine Davenier’s ink and colored pencil illustrations include lots of pink and purple – fairy princess colors!
