Waxing Nostalgic

In recent days I've found myself thinking a lot about picture books I read as a child. I remember one about a little girl that was raised as a witch, but is unhappy about being a witch and it turns out that she is actually a fairy daughter that had been lost. I loved this book when I was little and borrowed it from the school library many times, but now I can't remember what it was called and I would really like to try to track it down. It's probably not even in print anymore.

That actually sounds really cool. I've never heard of it though, so I can't help you out.
If you remember the name... let me know... I would actually like to check it out.

It was a sweet picture book. If I rediscover it I will let you know.

I was finally able to figure out what the book that I remember from my childhood was called, but as of yet have been unable to track down a copy. The book is titled,"Weeny Witch" by Ida Delage and is out of print. I tried ordering one through Amazon, but after waiting for quite a while they finally contacted me and said they would not be able to fill my order. =(

I love google.

Thanks for the try, but I actually do not think that is it. I seem to remember this little witch being in a household of witches and not liking to play pranks on people or something like that. I was probably in second grade or close to it the last time I saw this book so my memory is a touch hazy on the details.

Anything else?

Anything else that I'm hunting for or can I remember anything else about the book?
It was a very short, simple little book. There wasn't a lot of plot. Heck,. at this point it has been so long I can't even remember how the fairies found her. I think they might have discovered that she was really a fairy child by seeing a star birthmark on her or something like that. I remember that she had a birthmark of some sort that indicated she was fairy born and I think she may have been the fairy princess.
