El polvo del camino

Narración fantástica que cuenta que Lucía es muy desdichada porque no se gusta nada. Las hadas deciden ayudarla y le mandan a Roberta, un hada de gran corazón que compone canciones, pero algo novata y despistada en sus hechizos. A partir de ese día, Roberta acompaña a Lucía al colegio, al zoo, a la biblioteca..., y en todas partes pone en apuros a la niña con sus hechizos mal acertados. Al final, después de tantas aventuras, el hada Roberta consigue su propósito: Lucía descubre, feliz, su gran belleza, porque ella es única e irrepetible, como todos y cada uno de nosotros.
