Picture Book Review: WHERE DO FAIRIES GO WHEN IT SNOWS?

 
An alluring title invites young readers into an exquisitely illustrated world where the magic of snow and fairies meet. Set in the forest, under the winter moon, the first page beckons the imagination with enchanting imagery and written possibilities.

With a few turns of the page, this story offers vibrant images of fairies, flowers, and sunshine in spring... followed by summer celebrations and a leafy, acorn- filled fall.  Bursting with questions, color, and coziness...(along with a wee bit of fairy dust), Where do Fairies go When it Snows is a delightful read aloud—especially for those who love mystical little creatures who nap under mushroom caps


From questions such as: “Do fairies hibernate like bears, hedgehogs, and raccoons?” to “Ways You Can Take Care of Fairies in the Winter,” this story, written by Liza Gardner Walsh and  illustrated by Hazel Mitchell, is a celebration of joy, wonder, and what-ifs.

A Mr. Arachnid Library favorite for illustrations.
