about:

Soar into an enchanting miniature world full of fairies. These playful creatures are all around us, if you know just where to look. And if you want to have one come to you, build a fairy house of twigs and blooms and wait patiently for a fairy to take up residence.

Children are fascinated with miniature worlds and the fairies who inhabit them. A forever friend awaits each reader in the pages of this lovely picture book with illustrations by a Disney animator.

praise:

"I wish Sue Fliess to be my fairy word-mother. She is a master story-teller, and this one is magical--literally. Full of wonderful whimsy and sparkle, this bedtime tale is a nightly gem in my house. I'd say more, but I promised my daughter we'd go make some flower-petal stew."—Kwame Alexander, winner of the Newbery Medal for his novel, The Crossover
