What
happens if you
build a
house for the fairies?
Will they come to visit?
Fascinated by the array of fairy shelters made of bark, leaves, seashells
and other natural materials, Kristen sets out to build her own fairy house
in the woods. Little does she realize that Nature wants to get in on the act
- with her own cast of characters! Each time, as Kristen checks on her fairy
house, there is an unexpected visitor! Irresistible illustrations enhance
the anticipation of what will happen next, right up to the surprise ending.
Does Kristen really see
the fairies?. Or is it the influence of a particular place at a special moment?
This enchanting story reveals how nature inspires children's imaginations
and captures their hearts. It encourages them to cherish and respect wildlife
and their habitats.... and to create their own fairy houses... Anywhere!
This is
the original book in the Fairy Houses Series, and inspired the multi award-winning
children's video Kristen's Fairy House.

“An
enchanting children's picturebook”
The Midwest
Book Review
“Kane’s
ethereal drawings are simply amazing, glowing with a Monet-like light of their
own …… A must for children’s collections”
Today’s Librarian
Today’s Librarian Editors note: “Not only did the
reviewer love it, but her child (in second grade) adored it and did a book
report/fairy-house drawing for his class – and he asked if he could have
the book for his own collection!”
“The colorful pictures
and the magic of the fairies had my daughter entranced, but what makes this
a winner is the fact that kids immediately want to go outside and build their
own fairy house.”
Children's Book Sense Pick, American Booksellers Association
“Children
will be eager to build a fairy house .… Kane’s fanciful illustrations
are colorful … and add to the child’s dreamlike trip”

The
Architecture of Imagination
"As host of Hollywood Squares and America's
Funniest Videos I could be accused of biting the hand that feeds me, but I've
got a great reason to turn off the television. "Fairy Houses" is
a wonderful way to get your kids to engage their imagination and explore the
wonder of their own backyards. Both my daughters have built their own fairy
houses using the suggestions in the book. Tracy Kane's imaginative story and
beautiful illustrations provide a perfect bedtime story and next day adventure."
