About the story
Nettle Noo began as a character imagined by Dee's daughter Izzy during their woodland walks. Inspired by her idea, Dee wrote a poem about that tiny fairy living among the trees, streams, and nettles.
The poem grew into a fully‑fledged children’s story, beautifully brought to life by illustrator Sarah‑Leigh Wills.
Nettle Noo Book
The book follows Nettle Noo, a young fairy without wings who believes this makes her less able to help others, until one day she meets a weary butterfly searching for a safe place to lay her eggs. Through kindness, courage, and her deep knowledge of the woodland, Noo discovers she doesn’t need wings to do wonderful things.
Dee is the CEO of KidsBank (registered children's charity 1190234), which provides essential items including clothing, toiletries, school uniform and baby equipment to families in need of support. KidsBank's work ensured practical support is provided with compassion and dignity, showing the power of kindness in action every single day.
50% of all profits from the sale of the Nettle Noo book is donated to KidsBank, ensuring that every copy sold will help to support families.
