Little Henrietta has a special talent. If she smiles at a spider it sits down beside her. If she grins at a snail it wiggles its tail!

Daddy was cooking sausages and stuff over a fire in a big tin box. There were grownups there talking, laughing and being silly.

It started getting darker. There was a flash and a rumbling noise. Daddy looked up and frowned.

Uncle Bob shook a pepperpot over his food and some of it missed. Henrietta sneezed! Suddenly the clouds disappeared and the sun came back.

She winked at a worm and the worm winked back!

    Keith this is warm, funny, and highly imaginative. Henrietta is instantly lovable with her gentle brand of nature magic – this would make great great bedtime story reading 🩷
