Both ponder how the Monarchs can migrate so many miles without directions. Will they reach their final destination in time for the Butterfly Parade?

Maybe its time for a pinch of fairy magic!

Illustrated in Monet-like drawings in various shades from cheery pastels to deep night dark, which carry over through each page, the adventures of the two cousins will enchant young readers everywhere.

Rebeccasreads highly recommends FAIRY FLIGHT as a fun book while being educational, with hidden messages & crafty ideas. It should be on every grandmother's gift list!

A beautifully illustrated hardcover book for children "Fairy Flight" is a delight to read. Written for the under age 10 market it celebrates the imagination of children. In the book Kinsey and Sarah are cousins and friends who moved away from each other. During a visit to Sarah's house in California the children use their imagination to build fairy habitats. During this imaginative play they notice some monarch butterfly caterpillars. Sarah shares her knowledge of these butterflies with Kinsey who takes a few caterpillars back home along with some milkweed to keep them fed. Eventually they become butterflies and join all the other monarchs in their flight to California for the winter. Throughout the book there is a thread of childhood magic and their belief in fairies. "Fairy Flight" is a recommended read for young children who are sure to relate to the fantasy and enjoy the detail of the vivid illustrations.

Deftly written and superbly illustrated by Tracy Kane, Fairy Flight is a simply joyous fantasy picture book for young readers ages 4 to 9 about Sarah and Kinsey, two cousins who delight in summer days pondering the miraculous ability of monarch butterflies to migrate, while raising these majestic insects from caterpillars to Monarch butterflies. A thoroughly cheery tale, Fairy Flight is imbued with a genuine awe at the wondrous, fairy-like complexities within these tiny, intrinsically beautiful insects.
