Children use communication to learn about the world, express themselves, and develop their ideas. A communication problem can make children feel anxious, which is why it is important to teach them the correct way to behave. They should also learn that if harm has been done, it is necessary to ask for forgiveness, and apologizing should be a natural reaction. In The Fairy Who's Mean, Cheryl Davies shares a message that will help children understand these ideas. The story concerns Lavender, a fairy who played cruel jokes on others and teased the other fairies when they were hurt. When Lavender understood that no one wanted to be her friend, she felt lonely, but when she realized her mistake, she did everything possible to set matters right.

Children must learn to be honest with their feelings and express their concerns so that people around them can help. I liked Lavender because although she was slow to realize her mistake, she learned to understand her feelings, discover what she did wrong, and apologize. This is also important because we shouldn't be too embarrassed to apologize if we have done wrong. Just like Lavender, you have to do your best to resolve the conflict. The Fairy Who's Mean has a great lesson that every child needs to learn and Cheryl Davies explains this in an easy-to-understand manner.
