Gem Faeries - By Jane Parker


	Meet the Gem Faeries! They first appeared when Earth was very young. Some, indeed, were lucky enough to witness the dinosaurs and the creation of the great oceans. And still, to this day, the Gem Faeries are guardians of the world's natural wonders - wonders like fresh water, pure air, ancient forests and beautiful animals. It is the Faeries' responsibility to protect these treasures for future generations. However, many humans do not appreciate their lovely planet: some even try to destroy it, through greed or neglect. The Gem Faeries are working to stop these people, but the Faeries need our help.
