Fairy Marie’s New Home

Fairy Marie is tiny, somewhat like Thumbellina, and lives on a red poppy flower.  Her friends are also tiny and, together, they are preparing for fall.  The illustrations in this book are absolutely spectacular and I find myself studying the lacy insect wings and butterfly wings as well as all the humanistic qualities of these tiny creatures.  The story, originally written in Dutch, has been translated into English and occasionally seems a little awkward.  But that easy to overlook because of the beautiful illustrations.  Marie needs to find a new house for winter, but finds a home and friends and family, as well.  Heartwarming.  Kids into fairies will love it!
