Review Quotes

Joey Meets the Tooth Fairy is a heartwarming and imaginative debut English-language children's book by Tannia E. Ortiz Lopés. Through the story of young Joey, readers are taken on a charming journey that captures the magic of childhood while gently addressing important life lessons.

At first glance, the story seems to center on the simple, familiar excitement of losing a tooth and waiting for the Tooth Fairy's visit. But Ortiz Lopés beautifully layers this experience with deeper themes-friendship, kindness, and personal growth. As Joey navigates teasing from others and learns what it truly means to be a good friend, children and parents alike are invited to reflect on empathy and understanding.

What makes this book especially wonderful for shared reading is the way it opens doors for meaningful conversations. Parents can use Joey's experiences to talk with their children about bullying, the importance of being supportive, and the fact that everyone grows and matures at their own pace. These are big ideas presented in a way that feels natural, age-appropriate, and relatable.

Ortiz Lopés' storytelling is sincere and engaging, and her ability to blend imagination with gentle moral lessons makes Joey Meets the Tooth Fairy a delightful addition to any family's bookshelf. It's the kind of book that invites you to slow down, read together, and connect-not only with the story, but with each other.

With warmth, wisdom, and a touch of fairy dust, Joey Meets the Tooth Fairy, reminds us all that growing up isn't a race-it's an adventure meant to be shared with kindness and love. (Lisa Ferro)
