This was Sophie’s first big stitch fairy test. Of all the stitch fairies, she was the best!
Sophie the Stitch Fairy is a story about Sophie, a stitch fairy in training who has to work hard and be brave to take care of some very important animals at the zoo. The animals learn not only that Sophie is gentle and kind but also that getting their stitches out isn’t so scary after all!
With each gentle pull of Sophie’s thread, author and pediatric plastic surgeon Sharline Aboutanos weaves a reassuring, whimsical tale that helps ease the worry that can be brought on by the idea of stitch removal. Both a delightful read-aloud and a comforting resource, Sophie the Stitch Fairy is intended to show young readers just how easy and painless removing stitches can be.
