As a lover of children's literature, mother and bookseller of 14 years, I want to put good books into kid's hands. I share my philosophy on what makes a book good as well as book reviews and lists of great books for every reading taste and ability with a focus on new readers. I also highlight some wonderful books that are not always on the shelf at bookstores, but might be at your library and can definitely be ordered. All books mentioned are available in paperback unless noted.

Fairie-ality Style: A Sourcebook of Inspirations from Nature by David Ellwand, 144 pp, RL All Ages

Fairie-ality Style: A Sourcebook of Inspirations from Nature, is the sole creation of David Ellwand, the creative mind, eye and hands behind the first Fairie-ality book, Fairie-ality: The Fashion Collection from the House of Ellwand. With this book, Ellwand moves beyond Fairie fashion to Fairie lifestyles. There are photos of Fairie houses and fairie furniture as well as a little bit more of the fanciful Fairie fashions that we came to love in the first book. Visually, Ellwand's eye for nature and whimsy along with his magnificent sense of color make for a stunning book that will enthrall adults and children alike. His works are so visually compelling that readers will not even miss the text that was part of the first book. Young readers who are crafty will, again, want to run outside and begin making Fairie houses and clothes from the natural world around them and others might want to sit down and write and illustrate stories about the fairies who wear the clothes and live in the houses that can be found inside the pages of this beautiful book. Like Fairie-ality: The Fashion Collection of the House of Ellwand, Fairie-ality Style: A Sourcebook of Inspirations from Nature is available in paperback.
