About the Book

Lola, A fairy in the Enchanted Forest meets a troll that is in a desperate state. In her attempt to help, she finds herself in trouble with no way out! Tibble the troll is convinced that the tiny fairy is the answer to everything he wants but finds out that being an angry troll gets him nowhere. In the end Lola realized that the power of forgiveness can change her heart as well as the trolls.

“Lola is a truly enchanting story with characters that will grab a child’s attention from the first page. This story is filled with teachable moments about treating others kindly and forgiveness. The discussion questions will open doors for wonderful conversations with your children or students about the true meaning of being sorry and who forgiveness is really for. A great book for educators and parents to add to their collections.” Teresa Sirmans LPC, NCC -

“Lola is a beautiful story to help teach children about caring and forgiveness… the illustrator did a fantastic job helping to bring them to life. Although Tibble begins the story as a mean, selfish troll the ending is very touching and helps the reader to see what real regret is and how forgiveness can help both people…the one asking for forgiveness and the person who is forgiving. A touching tale with very valuable life lessons that would be well read and heartfelt by any reader.” Francene Nowlin, MSED, Art Educator
