Spring is my favourite time of the year. I love the freshness of the world, the brand new plants shooting up, the vibrant colours everywhere and the sun warm against my skin once again. Spring is a time to celebrate life... plants, animals and people come alive once more and look forward to engaging with the great outdoors.

About the book...
"When all the blossoms of spring begin to appear,
Do you think there might be fairies near?"
Thus begins this sweet book, written in rhyme, that exposes the young reader to the magic of fairies who wake up the sleepy plants from their long winter's nap and add vibrant colours to the world as it comes alive. Questions are posed to get the reader thinking about fairies and how they interact with nature and help create new growth and beauty for everyone to enjoy.
"Do the fairies pull out all the stubborn shoots and brush out winter's tangled roots?"
"Are they huddled around in their fairy house towns, planning on ways to fill the bare ground?"
"Do they use tiny brushes and oil pastels to paint crocuses, lilacs, and daffodils?"
This charming sequel to "Where Do Fairies Go When It Snows" along with the brilliant illustrations will have your child out in the garden looking for hidden fairies that just might appear and help their own gardens to grow. I am sure upon reading the book kids will have a greater appreciation for the outdoors. Highly recommended.
