Features: The story tells about four little girls—Nicole, Emily, Charlotte, and Grace—who are 11 years old and best friends. 'They were always glued together,' Madonna writes in the book, and they were all 'a little jealous of another little girl who lived in the same neighborhood'—a beautiful girl named Bina, whose seemingly perfect life caused intense jealousy among the four girls. However, when a radiant fairy named Shene who loves rye bread takes them on a magical journey, they are surprised to discover the huge differences between the surface and reality. When writing this book, Madonna drew on her own personal experiences. She said: 'In childhood, I envied and jealousyed other girls for various reasons: I envied them for having mothers, envied them for being prettier than me, envied them for being richer than me. You won't realize how much time such emotions waste until you grow up.'
