About The Book
Willow takes her fairy friends to see the ocean in this second chapter book in the Fairies Welcome series from New York Times bestselling illustrator Bea Jackson.
When Willow tells her fairy friends Lily, Sky, and Jasmine all about the beach—the sunsets over the ocean, the stars, and the moonlight—the fairies want to see it for themselves. At first, Willow is super careful not to let her friends get too close to the powerful ocean, but the fairies complain they’re not having fun!
Willow compromises by showing them how to build a sandcastle, and all goes well…until a giant wave sweeps Sky out to sea! Can they save her or is she lost forever?
