What is Backyard Fairies about?

A young girl searches her back garden and the nearby woods for fairies. She follows tiny clues, discovers signs of magic and looks carefully among flowers, trees and pebbles. Though the fairies remain just out of reach, readers can spot them hiding in the richly detailed illustrations. As the girl continues her search, the ordinary world becomes full of wonder, showing that magic may be all around us if we take the time to notice it.
