Book Overview
Fairies are real, and they're all around us Award-winning author-illustrator Phoebe Wahl offers a fanciful and beautifully illustrated peek into the hidden world of fairies, sprites, and other magical creatures. A girl searches for fairies in her backyard and the woods beyond, following little clues and traces of magic. Fairies and other magical creatures can be found on every page, hidden among the flowers, trees and pebbles. But although readers can see them, the girl keeps searching, just one step behind... In the end, it is clear (both to the girl and readers) that there is magic all around, even when it's hidden in plain sight.
Phoebe Wahl takes us deep into the world of fairies, and her vibrant, multi-textured woodland scenes are every bit as enchanting as the creatures therein. A gorgeously illustrated paean to imagination and the natural world. Delightful . . . This gently magical outing will appeal not only to longtime lovers of European folklore, but also to fans of the popular fairy door phenomenon.--Kirkus Reviews

A Quick Little Jaunt in the Backyard
Published by Shane Isidore , 2 years ago
This is an adorable little book about the magical things all around you; that you can't quite catch a glimpse of, but—if you know how to look and are patient enough—show themselves in different ways. Beautifully illustrated and written by Phoebe Wahl, this quaint volume will remind you of just how fascinating and enchanting the world around you was as a child, and that—if you pay attention—it still is. Your children will love seeing some new detail with every reading, and you’ll love seeing it through their eyes.
