Book Description
"There are only so many 'bads' in one day," Green would say to herself in a very positive way after crashing into a tree. "And one has already happened. So the rest of the day will be perfect." Green has all the reason in the world not to be positive. She is a homeless fairy, living in a Fairy Shelter. She has looked for a job, even gone to the Fairy Job Fair, but all the fairy jobs would be had by other fairies. She interviewed to be Cinderella's fairy, but a beautiful little sprite would have that job. She tried for the Tinkerbell position and many more, but wasn't even chosen as a Tooth Fairy. She was becoming green with envy, a characteristic she did not like at all. She wanted what all of us want, a home of her own and the ability to take care of herself. Being jobless hurts. Though because she was homeless, she had learned to recycle, reclaim, and reuse. That was who she had become and she was very aware of what was happening to the Earth. Before she had a chance to leave the fair, The Boss of All Fairies finds her and offers her a job that suits her perfectly. She would be the Environmental Fairy and change the world through the minds of the children. And so it was. Green would set out on her first of many tasks, the world water issue. That's what she would take on first. The Boss of All Fairies hands her a package of Fairy Sticky Note Pads. Most fairies use magic wands, but hers would be in the shape of sticky notes. On them, she would write words of conscience and stick them on the foreheads of children as they sleep. In the morning those words would become part of their new way of thinking. They would be inspired to compromise, but not necessarily do without. If all of us learned to compromise, the world would be a better place for everyone. She asks The Boss of all Fairies, "Wouldn't everyone want the Earth to be a better place for people and animals?" She would fight for the world, our home. Although this is her first book for children, Ms. Filgas has been shaping the minds of young children for 38 years. As a recently retired teacher, she has influenced more than a thousand children throughout her teaching career. She looks forward to continuing to touch the hearts and minds of today's children through her work with the Environmental Fairy, Green. Carla Filgas lives in Healdsburg, California with her husband Dennis Martin, 2 dogs, Bear, a Golden Retriever, and Chloe, a Basset Hound, 40 koi fish, 15 chickens, and an extensive garden. In her spare time, she crafts reusable bags and purses from chicken, cat, and dog feed sacks and canvasses second hand or antique stores seeking other recyclables. Her own children, now adults, were an influence on her writing. Stay tuned for further adventures of Green, the Environmental Fairy. Through her writing, Carla wishes to shape the future of our world through the minds of our young people. Once a child's life has been influenced to recycle, reclaim and reuse, they in turn will become an influence for others to do the same. Hopefully children will develop some insights as to the Green Fairy's plight of poverty and her care for the environment. This book will give parents the ability to dialogue with their children about these issues in a friendly, less stressful way through the eyes of a young fairy and her efforts to survive in the world as it is today, helping Green fight for a better world.

Book Description
Cinderella goes to the con in this fandom-fueled twist on the classic fairy tale romance—now with a special Starfield bonus scene! Part romance, part love letter to nerd culture, and all totally adorbs, Geekerella is a fairy tale for anyone who believes in the magic of fandom. Geek girl Elle Wittimer lives and breathes Starfield, the classic sci-fi series she grew up watching with her late father. So when she sees a cosplay contest for a new Starfield movie, she has to enter. The prize? An invitation to the ExcelsiCon Cosplay Ball, and a meet-and-greet with the actor slated to play Federation Prince Carmindor in the reboot. With savings from her gig at the Magic Pumpkin food truck (and her dad’s old costume), Elle’s determined to win…unless her stepsisters get there first. Teen actor Darien Freeman used to live for cons—before he was famous. Now they’re nothing but autographs and awkward meet-and-greets. Playing Carmindor is all he’s ever wanted, but the Starfield fandom has written him off as just another dumb heartthrob. As ExcelsiCon draws near, Darien feels more and more like a fake—until he meets a girl who shows him otherwise.
