Thanks for inspiring so many children!
We love fairy houses and have built them all over the world! It’s the most marvelous, versatile and portable entertainment for kids of all ages. We’ve made them with grandparents and cousins from 21 years to just a few months old and had several fairy birthday parties too! Thank you for helping to make our daughters childhoods so magical!
Thanks for giving our family such a wonderful, magical gift!!
It’s been a life-changing experience for my daughter.
Thank you.
The wonder of it all and excitement that I see in his eyes as he is building these houses for the fairies is what true teaching is all about - inspiring young minds! Fondly,
Imagine if schools across the country could spark a love of nature in their students through the activity of building fairy houses, how the future environment would be in good hands!
Today I met someone who started telling me all about fairy houses! She mentioned http://www.fairyhouses.com and I CAN’T WAIT to build my first fairy house with my daughter!
We love your books!
Our thanks to you for a wonderful time!
We all truly enjoyed today! May the magic always be with us!
Fabulous event - thank you SO MUCH!
This was the best family fun!
A wonderful program! We had such fun. Now my children want to build fairy houses in our yard!
It’s great to see kids outside using their imaginations! Just what they should be doing. Thanks.
Thank you!! We love your books, and it was one of Julie’s dreams to meet you, Tracy!
What a great time. Reaches inside and brings ou the kid in each of us. Helps us dare to dream.
This will be one of the ten best days of Celia’s childhood. Thanks so much.
Love the idea of bringing the children outside for functional learning and fun. Wonderful family activity!
We are so happy to have been touched by your magic! Thanks for inspiring us all and getting us back to nature, and what’s truly important!!
Thanks so much for encouraging all of us to tend to nature, build welcoming homes in the woods and in our hearts, and believe!
This was great fun, as always! I can’t think of a more relaxing, enjoyable way to spend my 45th birthday with my daughter. Thank you!
We love the fairy houses tour! Each year it seems the houses get more and more creative. Building them is a magical thing to do with your children. Thanks for inpiring us!
Awesome! Thanks so much to two very special people. Fairy Houses rock!! We had a blast!

After watching your video my kids have been inspired to turn our back woods into a fairy haven. It has filled many many hours of fun on otherwise boring summer days. Thanks for your creative and inspiring books. We love them all!
Thank you! My daughter loves the books and the Musical was Fabulous! Also, loved the Fairy Houses Tour. Building their own Fairy House was a definite highlight too!
Ideas abound as every leaf, stick and pinecone have infinite architectural possibilities. The tour was inspirational. And the build-your-own ending was tons of fun, especially for the children who love to get down in the dirt (sand, shells, water) and find “treasures” (sticks, nuts, leaves, etc.)
Thank you Barry and Tracy. You have been a blessing to us. We really enjoyed the experience of fairy houses at the beach.
The books are wonderful and the Fairy House Tour is awesome. Being able to build a house with my daughter and put it on display is a memory I will always cherish.
Thanks for making life magical for our whole family.
My daughter loves her new book. She shared the book and her story with her teacher and class. She even told her principal. Her teacher took the class to the smartboard room and brought your website up for her classmates to see her with her fairyhouse. It is amazing how a simple book can raise a young child’s self-esteem and make her feel so incredibly special. You and Tracy Kane did that for her. Thank you so much.
Keeping nature alive and fun!
Love sharing your books with my seven grandchildren!
Your talent makes me so happy! Keep up the great work!
We love the books. We came all the way from Baltimore.
I’ve sent your books to my daughter in Alaska - now part of my curriculum!
I don.t know why it took me so long to find this site (www.fairyhouses.com). It is awesome. Thank you NH Chronicle for having this on.
I just wanted to share how much my daughter and I loved “Fairy Houses.” I’m thrilled there are more books in the series and can’t wait to read on!
It’s not often that a book sparks something in a child that drives them outside to be in nature, but “Fairy Houses” does. This is an extremely unique book with fabulous text and art work. It is our all-time favorite, most inspirational children’s book!

Thank you so much for what you do. You are truly inspiring…. And your houses and books make my daughter so very happy!
I have been going every year with my two girls. We have not missed a year yet. My oldest is now 15 years old n still is very excited for this every year. It is a way to reach the inner child no matter how old. We look forward to another year. (Portsmouth Fairy Houses Tour)
