Description

A MODERN FAIRY TALE FOR THE CURIOUS MIND

Delve into a modern re-telling of an age-old fantasy, where the celebration of neurodiversity and the magic of childhood come alive in a story of adventure and imagination.

Gabriel Jordan is a curious and inventive 6-year-old with a passion for outer space.

As a neurodivergent first-grader, Gabriel's fascination with the cosmos sets him apart from most children his age. He spends most of his time immersed in his very own "Outer-Space Makerspace," where he tinkers, explores, and dreams of the mysteries beyond our atmosphere.

Then, on the night that Gabriel experiences the milestone of losing his first tooth, he embarks on an unexpected mission to help a stranded Tooth Fairy fly home!

Gabriel soon discovers that Tooth Fairy Land is not merely a mythical destination but a vibrant realm teeming with wonder, magic, and the celebration of childhood milestones. As Gabriel navigates this fantastical world, he learns valuable lessons about growth, friendship, and the power of imagination.

A modern re-telling of an age-old fantasy, "Gabriel's Tooth Fairy Tale" will delight both readers who love imaginative adventures and families that celebrate neurodiversity and individuality - with a heartwarming answer to exactly what the Tooth Fairy does with all the baby teeth she collects.

This is such a beautiful, magical story. I loved the message of hopefulness relayed about the ability to achieve your wildest dreams when you grow up and how this was linked to the rite of passage of losing a tooth. Illustrations are wonderful and vivid with detail.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and Netgalley for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for an unbiased review.

Taylor Swifts new album on repeat, reading the boys some new kids books I got advanced copies of, and the sun is shining….a happy Friday in my book! ☀️📚🎶

These books were so cute! I can’t wait to show my daughter the bug book as she’s been really interested in ladybugs lately. The Happy Stories for Animal Lovers was absolutely adorable! It was full of such beautiful illustrations and fun facts about animals. The Pond and the Park was a really adorable story about friendships. Respect the Insect book was very interesting to my son who has been hesitant with flies coming inside. Hee hee. He always really enjoyed Little People Big Dreams about Stan Lee and comics. My daughter is going to love Gabriel’s Toothfairy Tale as she’s been waiting anxiously for her tooth to fall out. Torla and Smorla was a really cute book my younger song loved. The Bison and the Butterfly was precious! Add these books to your kids summer TBR lists for summer reading programs. Thank you @netgalley for these advance copies!

This book has beautiful illustrations and is laid out great. The beautiful story is brought to life by these illustrations. The story is a fantastic magical ride and then Gabriel wakes up in his bed in the morning with a note. I also liked at the end of the book there is a page for the child to write a letter to the tooth fairy if they wish. Fantastic!!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this ARC.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to review this book... Stunning! First off, the artwork. The drawing from Tooth Fairy Land on page 24 is absolutely gorgeous. I would buy this as a poster and put into a children's room. Bravo! What talent!

The story was sweet. Gabriel is obsessed with rockets so why not have him rocket to Tooth Fairy Land with his first lost tooth?! I also loved how the author answers the question of "what do they do with all the teeth?" as I am sure that would be a question asked by a child listening or reading this book.
I, too, used to leave a note under the pillow after collecting the tooth and leaving the money. The template for the letter to the tooth fairy in the back of the book is wonderful and I am sure will be frequently used.
Being the daughter of a dentist, I would highly recommend this book to patients and parents alike. It is something that every child goes through so why not have more books about Tooth Fairies!

Nice story that explains what kids always wonder—where do my teeth go after the tooth fairy takes them? Beautiful illustrations. Only feedback I would give is that some of the words seem a little too advanced for the target audience.

This Book will be great younger readers

I just finished reading a truly beautiful and magical story. The book's powerful message about never giving up on your dreams as you grow up was brilliantly linked to the rite of passage of losing a tooth. The illustrations were stunning, vivid and full of detail, bringing the story to life.

I want to thank Sharon Leya, Orange Puffin Playgrounds, and Netgalley for gifting me an ARC of this book.

This is really a very cute children's book. My little is about to start losing teeth so it seemed appropriate that I request this book to review. I read it out loud to my kiddo and five stars given all around. The way this cute story is laid out is easy to follow and read out loud. I love the illustration- bright, fun and captivating.

This is the sweetest book!
It took the concept of a tooth fairy and made something so tradition based into something new! Something unique about this book is the child not only interacted with the tooth fairy but also gives the reader the ability to write their own letter. Excellent

5/5 Stars! Thank you, NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for this eARCH of Gabriel's Tooth Fairy Tale by Sharon Leya and Jennifer Saylor.

This was such a beautiful story. I loved how this story was told and the illustrations were just beautiful and well done. I will definitely be buying this book so that my boys can get a head start on the Tooth Fairy - they haven't lost their teeth yet but I love the end where there's an activity to write a letter. This is really great!

Thank you!

This is an adorable story for children that takes a familiar character/fairytale like the story of the tooth fairy and presents it in an entirely new and very creative manner.

The illustrations are wonderful, and I like the representation aspect, which is beautifully handled.

This will be a great gift and an excellent book to read with young kids. Highly recommended.

"Gabriel's Tooth Fairy Tale" by Sharon Leya and Jennifer Saylor with illustrations by Ivan Sulima is an enchanting story of a boy named Gabriel going on an adventure with the tooth fairy. The story and drawings make this really magical, and the reader can feel transported. This should make a great book to read aloud as well. I particularly enjoyed Sulima's illustrations. Thanks to Netgalley for the eARC.

I loved this book! Such a cute story for kids about the Tooth Fairy! I haven't seen many children's books about the tooth fairy! Kids will really enjoy this book and all the pictures! I loved that there is an option to write a letter to the tooth fairy!

The pictures were absolutely adorable. Overall the cover was great. The storyline was awesome. And my 4 year old loved it. It was a bit long at some points, but overall so cute.

Fun story with a spin on the tooth fairy! Loved the use of different fonts and colors to add emphasis to the story. Beautiful illustrations too!

This was a cute story , and a fun exploration of imagination .
The scenes were quick to change topic so took a bit of going back to make sure we didn’t miss a page! Lol

A quick short read !

I found this to be a fun way to re-tell the tooth fairy. I would’ve like a better transition between talking about Gabriel’s love for space to him meeting the tooth fairy and going on adventure with her because it did confuse me a little. The illustrations were great and they did remind me of Peter Pan, which I think children would love. I liked that it answered “what do you do with the teeth you collect?”. I am positive kids will love this as a bedtime story and will be excited for when their next tooth falls.

Thank you to the authors and NetGalley for this e-ARC.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with this book for free in exchange for my review! All opinions are my own.

This was an enjoyable and fun story. While I think this book would especially be good for the youngest of readers, I think this book is also good to read to slightly older children who might be questioning the magic of the tooth fairy. I thought the illustrations were very well drawn and fun. If I had a child, I would buy them this book, if even to keep the magic of the tooth fairy alive a little bit longer. After all, kids grow up so fast.

Many Thanks again to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with this book in exchange for my honest review.

What a lovely, creative story about a space-loving boy's loss of his first tooth. Perfect for children of that age. I plan to purchase for my nephew (who loves tinkering and building things).

30 pages or so, this book is in publication.

Beautifully illustrated!

This book would make a lovely gift.

Many thanks to the creative team for writing Gabriel's Tooth Fairy Tale, Sharon Leya, Jennifer Saylor and Ivan Sulima.

The stunning illustrations grabbed me in this creative tale about a young neurodivergent boy who loses his first tooth and spins a wild story about where lost teeth go. Highly recommended for readers 3-8.

Very cute story. It does a great job to link the idea of the tooth fairy with the idea of following your dreams. Gabriel gets the chance to help a tooth fairy and then visit their land! The story speaks of dreams, the future, and looking beyond just counting what can be seen, such as the stars.

Such a lovely magical story to help keep the magic of the tooth fairy alive - and it’s terrific to see a tooth fairy book, as it isn’t as common.

I thought that this book was excellent.

I really liked the idea behind the book and the authors have really done it justice. I love that the main character is neurodivergent and this is embraced in the book - something that should happen more often as there are plenty of people out there that can relate

The story is wonderful and whimsical - it is well written and my daughter really enjoyed it. It is easy to read and follow too. The illustrations are a treat and they add so much to the story and help bring it all to life.

It is 5 stars from me for this one - very highly recommended!
