I remember this was one of my favorites as a child. I don't recall the details now, except for taking a silver ladder out of her bedroom up to the moon, and a strawberry bandaid for her injuries and her inured stuffed friends.

This book is so beautifully written. The stories are enchanting and really captures the imagination. Not just for seven year olds.

I can imagine being seven and finding this book a delightful realm for the imagination. Short stories, fairies, imps, rhymes, all so lovely.
I am not seven.
Still a lovely book. Truly made for a seven year old though.

An almost perfect read for the imaginative, sensitive or spiritual 7-year-old girl in your life.

What a beautiful story! Sylvia is a well loved child with a community grounded in love. I wish I had discovered it before my daughter turned 7. There were several typos and grammatical errors that bothered me but I was able to push through and read aloud to my daughter.

I haven't read this since I was tiny, but tempted to again just to bring back the memories. Sweet and gentle, perfect for young children, especially those on the cusp of age seven (hence the name)

A wonderful book for 7 yr old boys and girls alike. We read the chapter about Sylvia loosing her first tooth when our son's first tooth was about to come out. He loves all the stories.
