Felicity Wishes

Felicity Wishes is a British children's book series created by Emma Thomson.

The series is about a fairy called Felicity Wishes and her friends Holly, Polly and Daisy and later on Winnie.

Most of the books are set pre-graduation where Felicity goes to the School of Nine Wishes to learn and she eats cake and drinks tea with her friends at Sparkles Cafe.

Felicity has a constant companion, a little blue bird called Bertie Dishes, the only male character in the whole book series.
