The sun is out. The birds are singing. It’s a perfect day for tracking fairies. Are you game? Follow our intrepid young narrators as they skip from rock to flower to waterfall, following the clues. Will their search turn up any fairy friends?
Illustrated with photos and art by the fabulous Christa Unzner, THE TIPTOE GUIDE TO TRACKING FAIRIES is a fascinating trip into that magical world that lies just on the other side of nature. You, too, can see the world through fairy-tinted glasses. Won’t you come along?
“Text and art work in tandem to create gentle suspense—scenes, such as one in which fairies retrieve a lost slipper just behind the retreating shoes of the searching children, will prompt giggles, and the promise of a fairy encounter is sweetly fulfilled at the end.” –Publishers’ Weekly
“The text’s personal tone invites children in … this guide will spark their own imaginations and writings.” –Booklist
“The Tiptoe Guide to Tracking Fairies is a picture book that evokes that same sense of wonder, of magic just out of site and almost seen. … This fun book will encourage both imagination and love of nature in children.” –Words and Wands
The Author: Ammi-Joan Paquette
Location: Boston, MA
Ammi-Joan Paquette is known as a bit of globe-trotter. She spent much of her early years in France, then traveled throughout Europe and to Japan before settling down with her family just outside of Boston.
THE TIPTOE GUIDE TO TRACKING FAIRIES was inspired by a real-life fairy hunt she took with her two daughters one spring day. Although they didn’t meet any fairies face to face, they saw signs of them everywhere. This is her first picture book.
