Petal the Flower Faery
Petal the Flower Faery!
Petal isn't like the other forest faeries. She doesn't quite fit in - literally! She's half-giant! Growing up with her father being a giant and her mother a faery, Petal did not sprout wings. Instead she is a ground faery. You can see where she's been, as she leaves petals and 4-leaf clovers in her footsteps. Petal learns though she is different, she is still a faery and learns to accept herself and have fun!
​
Petal develops real friendships and goes on several adventures, with her friends and those she meets: Ship Captain Indigo "Indi" Ocean Blue, Bee, Moss, Luna, Oak the Playful, and Trixella Morel with a mushroom village of 100 faeries at her side on multiple adventures. Illustrations for the book inspired by real-life photography.

Notes from the Author:
Catch me all summer 2026 as I appear in book characters from the upcoming books beginning with Petal the Flower Faery (May), Indigo (June), Luna (July), and Bee (Sept), along with other surprise appearances. Photo ops welcomed with adults, children, or groups while in costume, and please tag me on socials as @kristingroulx or @skylarkartsy. See my Events page for where to see me in costume next!
​
While at these appearances, I've made notes and storylines which I am including in the Petal books. I'm writing it by hand, in pen, and editing it afterwards. It's been quite fun doing things the old school way - sans computer input. (If you've met me this summer, there's a chance I've written a storyline about it!). I'll make a page introducing the main characters soon!

I'm doing three Petal books, based on how I write. I'm old school. I love to write lengthly books and novels. How I'm writing Petal reads similar to an adventure like Percy Jackson or Narnia. This will be published for the older kids to read approximately 44K words (ages 8-13ish) and then extrapolating from that a storyline for the younger children (ages 3-8ish). They will be books your child can grow with and characters they will love!
​
Complete with "Indi's Map" - shown left, which shows all of the islands in the storyline. This is also pictured in the book itself, along with close ups of each of the islands.
​
This map is also available in the shop.
Sample pages (not in any particular order) - in the book, only a few select pages have photos. Majority of the pages are text for this edition.
