Sally sleeps with her tattered teddy in her arms. It has been two months since her best school friend moved away, and she still misses her so much.
Far away, a fairy dances around a magic tree and then swoops down to a special gift beneath its branches. Laughing, she flies in to the moonlight … and materialises by Sally’s bed.
As Sally continues to sleep, Kyanite Kim – a pink fairy with a sparkling sequin purple dress – gently places the gift next to her pillow.
The next morning, Sally is delighted and bewildered in a crazy tangle of emotion. Then she opens the gift. A gold locket is in her hands. She laughs. Inside, is a picture of a golden meadow.
Gently, she touches it. Then she is there. A golden sun hangs resplendent in a bronze sky. Golden grass moves in a gentle wind, and golden hills rise to the sky as if they are trying to fly there.
Sally looks around in awe.
“Hello.” A golden girl with huge wings approaches her. “I am Nicole. I will be your new best friend. When you wish to return to your world again, just touch the locket.”
So Sally’s secret world becomes her go to place before school, after school, in the middle of the night. She has never been happier. One day, as she brushes her hair, she finds a golden strand. She smiles. Gold is beautiful.
