“I believe butterflies are really fairies in disguise,” whispered Kinsey.

Raising butterflies from caterpillars, Sarah and Kinsey are certain there is magic in the air. Both ponder how the Monarchs can migrate so many miles without directions. Will they reach their final destination in time for the Butterfly Parade? Maybe it’s time for a pinch of fairy dust!

“A simply joyous fantasy picture book”
The Midwest Book Review

“An exceptional and creative book”
Jennifer LB Leese @ AStoryWeaver’s Book Reviews©
Ever since I first reviewed FAIRY HOUSES, the first book in the magical series, building fairy houses has become a tradition every summer in the fairy-believing Leese household. This reviewer and her children thoroughly enjoy the Fairy Houses series and looks forward to future works.

Enchanted by the Fairy Houses Series story concept, Light-Beams Publishing and Great White Dog Picture Company first worked with Kane to create the children’s video Kristen’s Fairy House. It immediately received accolades from trade publication reviews, plus an armful of prestigious awards - including the Parents Choice Gold Award, Notable Children’s Video - American Library Association (1 of 10 chosen for 1999), Parenting Magazine - Video Magic Award, Gold Award - Oppenheim Toy Portfolio, and Honors Award - National Parenting Publications.

Following on the video success, Fairy Houses, Fairy Boat, and now Fairy Flight is attracting a wide audience - children, parents, grandparents, gardeners and naturalists. “Part of the appeal,” says Kane, “is that fairy houses can be built in any season, anywhere – even in your own back yard!” The book concludes with a section on how to get started with your own fairy house, and is clearly responsible for the wave of fairy house building activity that is now sweeping the country.

Tracy Kane majored in illustration at Philadelphia College of Art. She also studied at the Wimbledon College of Art in London, England where she met her husband. She worked for several years as a commercial artist and EMMY nominated set designer for Public Television. She is an art association president, active in the New Hampshire Art Association, and spends much of her time illustrating and painting. She and her husband live in New Hampshire with their cat Toulouse.

Fairy Flight is the third children’s picture book and fourth product in the “Fairy Houses Series”.
