Description

Set off on a magical nature adventure—and let your imagination soar—on a forest walk with the creator of Jabari Jumps.

Let’s go, let’s go! Hopping and skipping into the woods behind their house, a trio of kids and their loyal doggy companion head off into the wild world in search of fairies. Their explorations lead them across a babbling brook and through bushes and meadows of fragrant honey snowdrops and bee balm. But where are the fairies? They peer under heavy rocks and peek under fleecy carpets of moss, finding dragonlike salamanders and scampering creepy-crawlies, but no fairies. The adventurers don’t lose hope, though—if they look very closely and listen hard enough, there’s always magic to be found in the woods! Gaia Cornwall has crafted an enchanting story that celebrates flights of fancy, curiosity, and the wonder to be found in the natural world.

Reviews

This magical story employs lovely language. Like music to the ear, the text dances, fairylike, off the tongue, demanding to be read aloud. Delicate, lush illustrations emphasize nature’s beauty. Different typefaces are incorporated, often set against soft-blue backgrounds.
—Kirkus Reviews

Cornwall keeps her writing simple but descriptive, ripe for reading aloud, and though the children don’t find a fairy (this time), they nonetheless revel in the magic of the natural world.
—Booklist

Have this on hand for an outside trek to remind readers there’s so much more going on in the natural world than meets the eye.
