Cori Doerrfeld.
When Cici's mother starts dating popular classmate Kendra's father, Cici can't resist using her newly discovered fairy powers for revenge (Sight). When Cici and Kendra (now friends) go camping, Cici connects with a forest sprite (Perfect). These early, brightly illustrated graphic novels realistically portray a Latino family of divorce; the fantasy twist adds levity. Review covers these Cici: A Fairy's Tale titles: A Perfect View and Truth in Sight.

Snuggle Bunny won't get out of bed, so Mama, Daddy, and Brother climb in, too. Then "more and more from far and wide / Hear the fun and come inside," which causes the bed to break through the floorboards. The snuggly animal cast lifts up the ho-hum text. Intrusive discussion prompts and appended "creative activities" help parents "engage with your little one."

While dealing with her parents' divorce, Cici learns that she is a fairy and must decide whether to keep her powers. This graphic novel with a Latina main character deals well with the pain of divorce. Though the logic behind the fantasy elements is shaky, the expressive illustrations are at their best when portraying Cici's friends and family as she sees them--with animal attributes.
