Where Giants Hide
by Mij Kelly
I went hunting for giants.
I searched far and wide.
They're bigger than houses.
So where do they hide?
There is magic all around you if you look hard enough!
Where is the fairy who will grant me a wish?
Is there no fearsome troll lurking under the bridge?
And why won't my broomstick budge just an inch?
A young girl has lost all the enchantment in her world. She embarks upon a journey-searching far and wide-to find that one amazing thing that will make her believe in extraordinary possibilities once again. It's only when she realizes the power of believing in her own dreams that she discovers she held the magic inside her all along.
