The Fairy Tale Project Trilogy
The Fairy Tale Project Trilogy includes the following books…
- Will and the Magical Forest
- Will and the River of Enchantment
- Will and the Crystal Fairy
Follow Will, a city boy, on a magical adventure that begins when he visits his Grandpa Otus in the small country town of Astrophyllite. The two of them travel together through a magic forest where they meet some delightful and some downright frightening creatures that teach them patience, to take time and enjoy life, and also give them the opportunity to face their fears, something they discover they are capable of through the power of love.
After journeying through one realm after another in this mystical world, they make their way back home with a renewed appreciation for life, and for Grandpa Otus, an understanding of the need to honor his inner child and give him the attention he deserves… which in turn, makes for a stronger, happier adult.
The Fairy Tale Project is based on a series of children’s books written by author Dani Lynn and beautifully illustrated by award winning artist Jacklyn Laflamme. It began in March 2010 with a grant from the Art and Cultural Division of Broward County, Florida allowing the duo to share a vision to inspire and encourage young children to discover their own unique talents through story time readings and art and literature workshops throughout South Florida.
Nancy the Christmas Fairy
This is a tale written with and illustrated by Dani’s granddaughters (at ages 7 & 9). The book is in memory of their maternal grandmother Nancy Bruneau. Follow Jingle the Christmas Elf and Holley the Reindeer on their journey to save Christmas.
Despite all attempts by the Ice Fairy to stop Christmas, Jingle, along with Yak-Yak the snow bunny, makes his way to help Santa Claus at the North Pole with help from various fairies they encounter along with way. There’s Cora the Winter Fairy (the girls maternal great-grandmother), Mina the Snow Fairy (paternal grandmother Dani Lynn) and Nancy the Christmas Fairy (maternal grandmother). And of course Mrs. Bettie Claus (paternal great-grandmother).
You’re invited to enjoy a very special Christmastime fairy tale. Although written for their loved ones, the story is universal. It is a fairy tale that all children and their families and friends can enjoy during the holiday season.

“The Fairy Tale Project combines fantasy images with the written word. The visual language conveyed through artist Jacklyn Laflamme’s jewel colored illustrations takes the viewer into the pages of an imaginative journey. I am thrilled to have been asked to take part in the Fairy Tale Project. Folklore and fantasy should be part of every child’s picture book collection.” April 2010
~Pamela Duque, Miami Herald
“A children’s book author and an artist join forces to help children read, combining arts and crafts with literacy. The duo will also offer book reading workshops to schools and organizations… ‘We want to teach them how to bring their stories to life and encourage them to use their imagination,’ said Laflamme.” April 2010

“I am just in love with them. The color is so vibrant and some are actually sparkly. They are so eye-catching and happy.” April 2011
~Scott Fishman, Ft. Lauderdale Sun Sentinel
“The worlds of written and visual expression came together during the recent Festival of the Arts at Young At Art Museum in Davie. This included a session with Dani Lynn and Jacklyn Laflamme, creators of The Fairy Tale Project. The duo hosted a story time with mascot Ladle the Leap Frog. A workshop followed where children made their own books to take home to inspire them to write their own fairy tale stories. April 2013

Animals have long been a part of our culture and they inspire us in many ways. This has been evident in our art and in our storytelling dating back to prehistoric times. Archeologists have found evidence of this in the form of cave paintings dating back to primitive cultures in prehistory. Mythological stories still live on today. We can even look at children’s fairy tales in our own time. Animal Spirits can help you understand the challenges in your life and learn from them. This will enable you to begin the process of healing and bring about spiritual growth.

Ancient Knowledge for a Modern Day Spiritual Journey
Shamanism, Spirituality and the Sacred Soul
To walk in harmony, to show honor and respect to all living things, to know our self and recognize our oneness with All that is, to live in love – not in fear, all of this honors the God of our heart… and is the shaman’s path. The most common image that comes to mind when speaking of a shaman is that of a native healer or spiritual leader. Although that would still be so in many places around the world, there are now what are considered modern day shamans. They may be spiritual or community leaders, but they are also teachers, business people, students and homemakers. As we choose to face our challenges such as stress, depression, low self-esteem, issues of the heart and those of our ever present inner child, we move closer to our core and ever closer to healing. It is there, at the center of self that we find God, by any name, God in us experiencing this life. There is the realization of oneness, strength, balance, and we walk in harmony… body, mind and soul.

About
About the author: Dani Lynn…
was born and raised in South Florida. She worked for years as a wildlife rehabilitator in Fort Lauderdale with dozens of species native to the area such as owls, hawks, sea birds, mammals, reptiles and more. She also worked with exotic and domestic animals.
Dani had the opportunity to work in various areas of rehabilitation including a wildlife nursery, hospital, and outdoor habitats in which animals were prepared for release.
Upon becoming the director of the Volunteer Services Department at a local non-profit SPCA wildlife facility, Dani designed educational programs for volunteers to participate in that included wildlife rescues, waterway cleanups, exploration of the Everglades, and hands on training in animal care, often with local high school students.
Along with fellow staff members and volunteers, Dani received training in beached dolphin rescue and oil spill rescue and rehabilitation. She also participated in the creation and implementation of educational programs sponsored by the wildlife center for other educators in the field on the subject of Avian Influenza (Bird Flu) and also the dangerous effects of the Exotic Pet Trade Industry.
“The work that I did to help rehabilitate injured wildlife in South Florida was one of my most rewarding experiences. I’m grateful to have had such a unique opportunity.” ~Dani Lynn
From 2010-2013, Dani, along with artist/illustrator Jacklyn Laflamme, shared stories and artwork from their children’s book series through art/literature workshops and storybook readings at schools, museums, galleries, parks and libraries throughout Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties in South Florida. The unique combination of a fairy tale told with words and art made The Fairy Tale Project come alive and has been very well received by children and adults alike.
