What inspired the story
"One beautiful idea. One different perspective. That’s all it took to spark this entire story. At bedtime one night in early 2024, my daughters and I were imagining how the Tooth Fairy collects all those tiny teeth from under kids’ pillows. My eldest shared her theory that the fairy uses her magic to make teeth float out from under pillows and right into her bag. That idea stuck with me long after they fell asleep, and I spent the rest of the night writing the story that became this book. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. The drawing shown here is my daughter’s original Tooth Fairy artwork, which was the inspiration for my illustrator as she developed the visual style of the entire book" - Nicole
