[kids-lib] Rainbow Magic stumper

[Holly Campbell-Polivka]

Thanks to all who have responded. There seems to be a pretty good consensus that it is Victoria the Violin Fairy. I should know better than to take everything a patron says at face value. I had showed him the cover and he insisted that wasn't it, but I went ahead and ordered it anyway just in case.

Subject: Rainbow Magic stumper

I have a stumper for you all. The patron is sure it is a Rainbow Magic book and believes the cover has a girl on the front who is Black with curly hair. Two little girls walk through a forest and they lose a musical instrument (maybe a violin). A goblin wearing a jacket and dress shoes picks it up and plays it while sitting on a bench with his legs crossed. He sees them and taunts them and then runs off into the woods. The little girls chase him and corner him. The country Honduras is mentioned in the book. I, for one, have not read a single Rainbow Magic book. Maybe you have? Or you have a child who was a Rainbow Magic fan that that might ring a bell with?

I would really like to help this patron. His father, who was from Honduras, recently died, and he just happened to come upon this book that mentioned Honduras and he seems to feel very sentimental about it.

I have requested Chloe the Topaz Fairy, Sarah the Sunday Fairy and Ashley the Dragon Fairy just because they all have Black fairies with curly hair on the cover.
