Twig is a children's fantasy novel written and illustrated by Elizabeth Orton Jones.

[2] The novel features Twig, an imaginative little city girl who turns a tomato can into a house for fairies.

A little elf comes along to live in the house and, at Twig's request, turns her fairy-sized, though he cannot manage wings.

The New York Times praised the book by saying, "Miss Jones, who knows children well, has told stories with warmth and simplicity."

Twig (although mistakenly referring to the elf and not the heroine) is recalled by Kinsey Millhone as being her favorite book when orphaned at age 5.
