The Hefty Fairy - The Tale of a Tooth Fairy
When the Hefty Fairy finds a twenty-pence-piece, she decides to try and exchange it for a child's tooth. Despite her arms and legs as thick as mushroom stalks and a body the shape of an egg, she succeeds. The trouble is none of the other fairies believes her - except the most important one of all - the Fairy Queen. Being fat can be anything but fun and there are few positive images in children's picture books so it's good to have a fat heroine in this longish story.
