Our Fairy Tea event is right around the corner, so what better time to read up on some of our favorite magical creatures? I have adored fairies ever since I was little, and these books remind us all to find the magic, or even become it!
A young girl explores her backyard and searches for wonderful, magical creatures. Although she doesn’t see them herself, she sees the actions of the fairies and knows they’re real. A fun picture book for anyone who believes in the magic of everyday life.
