Finding Faeries in the Woods at Wolfe's Neck Park

What begins as a casual walk in the woods quickly becomes a make-believe adventure of discovering hidden pictures in roots, tree bark, rocks and moss, with furred and feathered friends along the way. Little "doorways" lead to speculation about what kind of faeries might live there. Short? Tall? Thinnish? Roundish? Children will delight in the magic of these colorful illustrations. Young imaginations will be encouraged to observe nature more closely to notice all there is to be seen, a practice well worth cultivating.


Wolfe's Neck Woods is an actual State Park located near Freeport, Maine, in the Greater Portland and Casco Bay Region. All of the scenes and even the particular trees with their intriguing shapes and root systems that are featured in Finding Faeries in the Woods are to be found there, and the misty-day walk portrayed in this book is based on the author's first visit to the park in 2016. It truly is a magical place!
