Produktbeschreibung
Lily, a newly minted fairy godmother who loves fancy dresses and easy magic, is stunned when she fails to cure Daniel, a thirteen-year-old boy who is wheelchair-bound due to a muscular dystrophy. Assuming that Daniel's life is frustrating and boring -- stuck in his room watching old sports clips -- Lily is surprised to learn of his love for statistics and that he has billed himself as THE WORLD'S GREATEST EXPERT ON BASEBALL. Moreover, his deepest wish is to see the first National League night game played between the Reds and the Phillies at Crosley Field in 1935. But how is this going to happen? The world is ripe for a fantasy that celebrates the strengths of those with disabilities and rejects the notion that a fairy godmother needs to concoct a "cure" to help individuals find fulfillment and happiness. Daniel, in fact, shows Lily what really matters to him and challenges her to produce some of her own best magic. ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿In the process, he teaches her about baseball, friendship, and the magic of flying machines. An illustrated story in verse, with 36 original watercolor paintings.
