Summary from Amazon (I don't benefit by mentioning them)
Everyone knows fairies love spring flowers and summer sun, but what
happens when autumn comes and the days get shorter and colder? Now, Liza
Gardner Walsh, acclaimed author of the Fairy House Handbook and Fairy
Garden Handbook, explores the matter in a charming children's picture
book of rhyming questions. Combined with delightful illustrations by
Hazel Mitchell this whimsical book will help children discover just
where fairies go when it snows and offer a subtle lesson about the
importance of helping one another.
Nayu's thoughts
Before
reading this book I hadn't thought about where fairies may go when
winter comes, but now I most definitely have! It's a read teaming
with imagination and cuteness, which will delight readers of all
ages. I could happily have spent hours imagining what happens next to the background characters on the page, and what the other seasons are like for the fairies. The ways they hid from snow made me smile, and I image younger
readers would go peeking in those places when it snows. The colourful
illustrations took the story to a higher level, and are why I'll be
rereading the tale many times over.
