  When the forest fairies notice the changes in the forest, the Oracle declares that they must recover the four fairy treasures from the elemental fairies;
  
  
  "The darkness that has grown for many years,
  
  
  the terror that every fairy fears.
  
  
  But with the fairies' growing plight,
  
  
  hope is returned by a single light.
  
  
  One chance we have to correct this wrong,
  
  
  this hope will need to grow strong.
  
  
  Because if the four races cannot unite,
  
  
  the one will fail in the final fight.
  
  
  You will need the earth's wisdom to have its say,
  
  
  You will fail without a flame to guide your way,
  
  
  You need the air's knowledge that is kept
  
  
  You will fail without the water's emotional depth.
  
  
  These four elements are needed for all fairies' creation,
  
  
  to twist them is the darkness's motivation.
  
  
  To stop it collect the Tuatha De Danann's four treasures,
  
  
  even though the darkness will try to stop these measures."
  
  
  The Oracle sees that Elizabeth is the only fairy with a chance. The Dark Fairy tries to thwart their friendship and collection of the treasures, even invading their dreams with pixie magic.
  
  
  Meeting friends along the journey and gaining wisdom from the elemental races, Elizabeth learns the true meaning of being a fairy. Can Elizabeth and her friends collect the treasures, unite the races and defeat the dark fairy to save the forest?

  I Know You Are, But What Am I? is a picture book to help teach children about diversity, identity, and the transient relationships we have with each other and the world around us. Through interactive role play, young children (ages 1–8) will learn, experience, and become empowered by choosing from the simple picture format of images and characters. Children of all backgrounds are given the unique opportunity to create their very own narrative, in a positive engaging educational format. I Know You Are, But What Am I? engages children with "pick and choose" illustrations, from different genres upon each and every page. Children therefore have an opportunity to openly identify themselves and begin to appreciate, recognize, and relate to others in everyday life, regardless of geographical limitations. Encouraging freedom of expression through personal self-exploration, children safely observe a world of differing personas to engage with. In a world full of mixed messages, stereotypes, media and cultural pressures, I Know You Are, But What Am I? enables children an opportunity to experience the priceless beauty of diversity, with the option of "being someone, or at someplace else," on any given day.

  Büyük ormanın ortasında küçük bir göl vardı. Ağaçların arasında kalan gölün küçücük dalgaları, minik midye kabuklarıyla dolu kıyıya vuruyordu. Kıyıda dalgalarla dövülmüş kum taneleri arasında karıncalar sağa sola koşuşturuyordu. Küçük kayalar arasındaki yengeçlerin gözleri bir göle bir kumlara dönüyordu. Kıyının hemen yanında türlü türlü otlar, çiçekler gölün etrafını süslüyordu. Ağaçların arasından gölü ziyarete gelen birçok canlı vardı. Su içmeye gelen tavşanlar, tilkiler, gölde yaşayan kurbağalar, çiçeklerden beslenen kelebekler, arılar, balık avlayan kuşlar ve daha neler neler… Saymakla bitmez.
  
  Ancak biz gelelim kuyruklarını sallaya sallaya, sağa sola devrile devrile yürüyen; arada vak vak öten ördek ailesine. Bu aile küçük bir aile değildi. Oldukça kalabalık bir ördek sürüsüydü. Yaklaşık yirmi yavru, onların anne ve babaları, teyzeleri, diğer akrabaları hepsi bir arada geziyorlardı. Otuz beş - kırk ördekten oluşuyordu bu büyük ördek sürüsü.
