A magical story from award-winning artist, Phoebe Wahl, the illustrations and plauful read-aloud enchant the woods with an understanding fairies are real and they're all around us.

"They MUST be. 

Who else could have braided the dog's hair? 

Who else could be playing that faint music in the air?

And who else could've made those mysterious circles in the grass?"

So thinks a little girl as she sets out into the woods in her backyard searching for the elusive little creatures. 

Although readers can see them, as hard as she looks, the fairies are always just out of view for our heroine. 

In the end, it's clear (to the girl AND to readers) that there is magic all around, even when it's hidden in plain sight. 

Kids will delight in seeing the fairies hidden in each piece of art and revel in the tricks and games the fairies play on our unsuspecting heroine.

PHOEBE WAHL's work focuses on themes of comfort, nostalgia and intimacy with nature. 

She grew up unschooled in Washington State, and credits her free spirited childhood in the Northwest for much of her inspiration and work ethic. 

Wahl works in a variety of mediums, from watercolor and collage to fabric sculpture.
