On Fairy Wings

The girls of the Kids' Reading Clubhouse recently read Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg. It's a beautifully illustrated and enchantingly written book with lots of adventure and some fairy dust mixed in.

If you're familiar the the Tinkerbell movies and all of that, you'll remember that each fairy has to find her talent. The girls had to do the same thing. In my midst, I had a Music Fairy, an Art Fairy, and my favorite, a Friend Fairy. "Is being a good friend a talent?" she asked.

After that we made our own fairies out of old-fashioned clothespins with plastic cup wings, yarn for hair, and fabric scraps for clothes.

Each one was completely unique, just like each of the fairies who showed up for book club that day.
