What happens when you
build a boat for the fairies?

Will they come?

Her name is Fairy Boat, and she is the loving creation of Chelsea, Gram and Grandpa.

They launch her at the creek in Fairy Woods and she begins to wind her way downstream. But wait! A goose chases her into Big River, beyond their reach! Fairy Boat now faces many dangers. Can the fairies help? Will Chelsea ever see her again?

Learn about the life of a river as it travels towards the ocean and the influences of nature and man on our waterways. A fun map is included in the book.

The story of Fairy Boat parallels life's journeys, with rough waters and unexpected events at each turn. Yet, woven throughout are wondrous, even magical moments, waiting to inspire us. (Look for fairies hiding on many of the pages.)

There may be more than Nature at work here!

"Kane's blurred, pastel illustrations, best shared during quiet lap sits, will draw children in with their magical details and whimsy."
Booklist - Gillian Engberg

"This is the kind of book, told in terms children can easily understand, that teaches them to expect the unexpected...... The brilliant colors on every page are sure to hold your child's attention. This is a very nice book."
The Midwest Book Review

" .. the pictures are just remarkable, with gorgeous colors and excellent artwork ..... my daughter, who is six, was just beaming from looking at the drawings and listening to the story unfold."
Book Review Cafe
