BY THE SAME AUTHOR
Delightful and lyrical, this collection invites listeners into a secret garden where tiny, winged folk flutter among apple trees and dancing daphne bushes. The verses capture fleeting moments—a fairy perched on a dragon‑fly, a queen of blue wings sprinkling kisses over birds, and the soft rustle of invisible choirs that mingle with the wind. Each picture‑bright stanza is a gentle invitation to pause, look closely, and imagine the wonder that lives just beyond the ordinary.
The poems weave simple lessons of care and gratitude, reminding us to tread lightly and speak kindly, lest we harm the delicate world of fairyfolk. From “Alms in Autumn,” where a child seeks lantern light to follow vanished sprites, to “Fairy Music,” which blends the hum of fiddles with crystal‑clear fairy notes, the collection radiates warmth and imagination. Ideal for early listeners and classroom sharing, the verses celebrate nature’s magic while nurturing a respectful, curious heart.
