Being kind and helping others can lead to the greatest reward of all, friendship. You will learn how looks really can be deceiving! Have lots of fun playing Betty and Billy's very special game too.

There is so much fun to be had so come and see what adventures lie ahead for Betty and Billy and escape to "A Secret Land in Your Garden." The amazing ALDAFIA! This story is the first in the "Welcome to ALDAFIA" series and includes 2 additional adventures. The book is intended for 3 - 7 year olds and is also available as an eBook. Get ready for magic and imagination! From the Author: This was originally a story written for my own children capturing a moment in their lives and the fun and adventures we had in our little garden. So it really is based on a true story! All the drawings are by my children who used their imagination to create and name all the characters you will meet. I now hope it inspires your children to imagine, to create and to have fun reading the rhyming words.My real aim is that they will want to draw their own characters and bring them to life in a secret land in your garden! Maybe they can draw their own versions of the fairies and make a Fairy Hotel? Which garden guests will visit? I wonder if their Bogey Goblin has the same hair style or if the Hedgehog Princess has pink wellies? What colours are King Spikes and Queen Olivia's castles? This world is yours to imagine and create. Remember...Magic is in all of us, not only in this story, your imagination is key to discovering its glory!
