Mermaid Game!
Some of you already own The Book of Mermaids’ companion Magnetic Mermaid Dress-up Game, and know how fun it is.
Previously available exclusively through my publisher, Shenanigan Books, it’s up on Amazon now… took a while, but it’s there!
It’s a great little self-contained toy ~ kids just adore playing with it, parents like the great quality and the no-fuss, no muss!
Happy to share the news with you. : )

“Stairways to Peace”
The path to peace is not often straight. Sometimes you have to climb around, zig and zag, twist and turn; maybe even go upside down for a while. But however you arrive, the door is welcoming… and patiently waiting to be opened.

“We meet them like a pleasant thought… ” ~ William Wordsworth, from “To the Daisy”

Fairy Houses
What do you get when you put together some cardboard boxes, a bunch of nifty craft stuff and a room of imaginative children? … some great fairy houses!
Yesterday I led a fairy-house-making afternoon at the library, based around A Book of Fairies. The kids had tons of fun ~ each one proudly carrying home their colorful, imaginative creations. I think there are a lot of delighted woodland fairies around town right now!
(Many thanks to our fantastic librarian “Miss Lynn”, for organizing and supplying lots of great tools and good cheer.)
