Cut little book about fairies, but it really encourages kids to think about different solutions to a problem. To realize that maybe there isn't one singular answer. And to be creative and use your imagination. So many kids book teach numbers, letters, colors, etc. Very few let the reader make all the decisions!!

This is a cute book about Fairies. It shows some of the things fairies do to take care of the birds and animals. It asks questions about what fairies do during various times of the year and how they live. The story is told in rhyme and has gorgeous illustrations. It then briefly talks about humans taking care of each other like the fairies. The last page is a cute list of what you can do to help take care of the fairies and birds in the winter. Any child who likes fairies will love this book.

Are fairies real? Do they really love to play amongst the beautiful spring flowers and sprinkle fairy dust under the bright summer sky? Yes all that is true but what happens to these delicate little creatures when the days get longer, the seasons get colder and the snow starts to fly?
"Do fairies hibernate like bears,
hedgehogs, and raccoons,
or are they like squirrels collecting food under the winter moon?'
Liza Gardner Walsh takes you on a charming journey inside a Fairyland community and through rhyming questions she gives you some suggestions as what they may be up to. Do Fairies curl up under leafy blankets or mushroom caps to take a long winter nap? Maybe they are resting in your fairy house, or bundled up in little downy milkweed jackets complete with knitted hats and mittens, dancing by firelight, trying to warm up from a freezing night.
Possibly they fly about helping other animals get settled in for a long, blustery winter by delivering them leftover berries, acorn caps, or dried nettles. The author suggests making the little sprites a tiny winter house and...
"Perhaps to be safe,
in case they're hovering close,
leave out a tiny pancake, some milk,
or crumble of toast."
"For this is the same kindness that fairies show you.
Helping each other is what we all should do."
She encourages you to practise the golden rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Kindness does indeed beget kindness!
The whimsical illustrations are brimming with activity and detail and the message of the book is very positive. I love at the end when the author includes a page entitled, "Ways You Can Take Care of Fairies In The Winter." I highly recommend this book.

Where do Fairies Go When It Snows is a picturebook written by Liza Gardner Walsh and illustrated by Hazel Mitchell. It is currently scheduled for release on September 15 2015. This picturebook poses questions that many fairy lovers have had over the years. How do fairies interact with the plants and animals around the world, and what do fairies do during the different seasons, particularly during the winter. The book uses rhyming question and charming illustrations to explore the idea.
Where do Fairies Go When It Snows is a whimsical, rhyming picturebook that will capture the imaginations of many young readers. Those that already love fairies and/or nature will enjoy, and the question filled minds will read eagerly just to find some answers. The illustrations are cute and charming, pairing pretty perfectly withe the rhymed questions and answers. I really enjoyed the activities and information at the end that encourages children to care for others, like the fairies care for nature, and how to help fairies and their friends weather the winter weather.
Where do Fairies Go When It Snows is a fun and entertaining picturebook that will keep many young readers entertained during multiple re readers. The themes of caring for the world and other living things that is intrinsic to the fairy's lives are great for readers of all ages to take in. While my daughter and I have already put a fairy garden together, however I think reading this will give her new ideas and have us making our backyard even more animal and fairy friendly.
