Sydney Sunshine receives a surprise gift—a special mirror with magical powers—that has been handed down from one generation to another. The reflection in the mirror is that of a girl she has never seen before, and the illusions have a positive effect on Sydney Sunshine. But, when something happens to her mirror, she feels hopeless and is left with unanswered questions. Will Sydney Sunshine be able to find the magic within herself? Or, is the magic only inside the little girl she sees in the mirror? Sydney Sunshine and the Not-So-Magic Mirror is a heart-felt short story with a positive message geared towards young children; the story teaches the importance of self-esteem and self-confidence.
