Have a look at Rose Fyleman’s delicate poem A Fairy Went A-Marketing, illustrated by Jamichael Henterly. In each of the four seasons, a gentle fairy makes a purchase from the market (a fish in summer, a bird in fall, a gown in winter, a mouse in spring), keeps it to enjoy for a time, and then gives it to the wilds of nature. Fyleman’s pleasing verse is well complemented by the enchanting decor of repurposed natural objects in Henterly’s warm illustrations. #fairy #market #summer #fish #autumn #fall #bird #winter #gown #spring #mouse #book #books #childrensbooks #beautifulbooks #picturebook #picturebooks #childrensbookillustration #illustration #kidlit #kidsbooks #bookworm #booklover #booklovers #bibliophile #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstagrammers #instabook #instabooks
