is this too quaint?

Dear Cassie:

When you first read "Sunflower", you asked whether Butterfly-Fairy ever got her pussy willow kitten, so I wrote the story "Willow". When you beta read that for me, you asked, "is that all?" and so the story "Firefly" came about. After that, Butterfly-Fairy rather took over, and started telling me more stories about her adventures and her friends. The book you hold in your hands is the result. I hope you enjoy these stories as much as you did the original "Sunflower" and the other stories in Dragons and Dreams.

Fondly,

Becca
