Critics Review

“Two young fairies work together and discover the joys of teamwork. The mixed-media art has an immersive 3D quality that makes the fairies and their creations pop off the page.”–The Horn Book

This sweet story is ideally illustrated in MacKay’s signature, light-filled diorama style, set in an enchanted forest of gentle greens, yellows, pinks, and blues. A little drama, a trusty moral, and a happy ending make for a satisfying tale.–Booklist

[T]he explicit lessons about friendship will be appreciated by parents and teachers. A possible addition for early makers and fans of tree and/or fairy houses.–School Library JournalYoung readers glean that antithetical personalities can work beautifully together and that contrapuntal viewpoints can produce an amazing synthesis…. Sweetly offers essential, timely lessons about aligning with those different from oneself.–Kirkus Reviews
