New Fairy Tale Coming Soon!

The Girl Whose Frown Shook the Ground by Melody Trowell

The girl’s parents believe she is special because she has a unique birthmark on her left foot. Because of this special mark, they give her everything she wants to make her happy. But, this makes her selfish and demanding. If she doesn’t get her way, the girl frowns such a frown that it shakes the ground and destroys everything around her. In an attempt to minimize destruction (and embarrassment) in their village, the parents take her out to the country. But, her selfish demands bring more destruction as the family visits three locations (a barn, a mill, and a castle), each further from the village than the next. The final event, however, awakens a fairy who lives in a hollow tree near the castle. Upon meeting the fairy, the girl shrinks in size and cannot regain her stature until she undergoes lessons in selflessness, compassion, and empathy. The fairy teaches the girl that she won’t truly be happy until she learns how to put others before herself.

“Riveting. This book was impossible to put down, and impossible to forget.”

About Melody

Creating something doesn't have to be complicated. It seems quite simple actually, because when God calls us His "masterpiece" (Ephesians 2:10), He breathes creativity into our being. We are creations made by a Creator to create. It's in our very existence, our every breath.
