Limited First Edition Children’s Books of Lichendia

Fairy Spells & Strawberry Elves

When Viève discovers a magical shell that opens a portal to Lichendia, a woodland fairyland, the mermaid swiftly embarks on an epic adventure. With fairy wings, potions, and spells, she joins newfound friends to awaken strawberry elves.

A Launch of Magical Adventures

Our first fully illustrated children’s book was self-published in the spring of 2021! Through the late fall of 2020 and into the new year we ran a launch campaign with pre-sales of Fairy Spells and Strawberry Elves to help fund the self-publishing process.

Lichendia launched with much more than books! Scroll through our shop to discover handmade felted treasures, DIY felting kits, virtual classes, original felted illustrations, and tiers of founders’ support—through the gifting of books to local school and town libraries.

This progress bar represents funds raised toward our goal of $17,616 throughout our launch campaign. The Dow family, and all the characters of Lichendia, welcome you and thank you for your support!
