Donaldson's evocative and heartfelt rhyme are perfectly complemented by the warm and detailed artwork of Victoria Sandøy.

Let's go, let's go! Hopping and skipping into the woods behind their house, a trio of kids and their loyal doggy companion head off into the wild world in search of fairies. Their explorations lead them across a babbling brook and through bushes and meadows of fragrant honey snowdrops and bee balm. But where are the fairies? They peer under heavy rocks and peek under fleecy carpets of moss, finding dragonlike salamanders and scampering creepy-crawlies, but no fairies. The adventurers don't lose hope, though--if they look very closely and listen hard enough, there's always magic to be found in the woods! Gaia Cornwall has crafted an enchanting story that celebrates flights of fancy, curiosity, and the wonder to be found in the natural world.

What was it like to be a kid traveling through Ellis Island?

Most people in the United States can trace their origins to somewhere else. This means that either they or their ancestors were immigrants. The most important gateway for immigrants during the early 20th century was Ellis Island. This immigration station on a tiny island in New York Harbor welcomed more than 12 million people to America! Many of them were kids!
