Brad Jensen

Peggy und Brad Jensen leben in Plymouth, Michigan. Brad ist gebürtiger Michigander, Peggy stammt aus Deutschland. In der Zeit ihrer Schwangerschaft und in Vorfreude auf ihr Töchterchen Lyla haben Peggy und Brad im Sommer 2014 die Geschichte „Lyla und die Feentürchen“ geschrieben. Denn obwohl schon seit mehreren Jahren Feentürchen in Ann Arbor und anderen Orten in Michigan zu finden sind und deren Zahl stetig zunimmt, gibt es noch keine Geschichte, die die Herkunft dieser Türchen erklärt. Brad und Peggy haben dies zum Anlass genommen, ein Buch für Lyla zu schreiben, in dem sie sich wiedererkennt und das einen Bezug zu ihrem Geburtsort herstellt. Lyla Wunderwald Jensen kam am 10. September 2014 im Mott Children’s Hospital der Universität Michigan in Ann Arbor zur Welt.

Since Lyla had no brothers or sisters, she liked to go to the Wunderwald forest. She loved animals and was never afraid of them. She did not have to be afraid either, for her friends and protectors, the little forest fairies, also lived in the Wunderwald. Like the meadow fairies and the house fairies, they were very happy every time Lyla came to visit and to play with them.

Hundreds of fairies lived in the Land between the Great Lakes: old and young, fat and thin, hard-working and lazy, funny and serious. They were happy, loved to play and had become friends with the animals and people in the Land between the Great Lakes. There was
