In a captivating follow-up to April and Esme, Tooth Fairies, a
master of whimsy sends his tiny heroines on another adventure.
With their parents off on an urgent molar pickup, April and Esme are
ready for a cozy overnight at Grandma and Grandpa's teapot house by the
airport fence. There will be fairy cakes to mix, pancakes and syrup for
breakfast, a chocolate on each of their pillows. But then a call comes
in about a small girl in a red coat, arriving from Ghana with a baby
tooth somewhere in her pocket. Could this be a job for April and Esme,
tooth fairy sisters? As always with Bob Graham, the beauty is in the
details: Grandpa working out with a giant teabag-turned-punching-bag;
fellow winged creatures hovering above the airport terminal (cupids to
help people meet and angels to comfort the sad arrivals). Merging humor,
poignancy, and a bit of heart-fluttering suspense, Bob Graham turns a
familiar moment of childhood independence into a thing of magic.
