This is an in person event at our Manchester store.

Join us for a morning of forest magic with two remarkable children’s book authors! In addition to readings and signings with the authors, the morning will feature a scavenger hunt and simple craft. Costumes are encouraged!

Fairy Walk

Set off on a magical nature adventure—and let your imagination soar—on a forest walk with the creator of Jabari Jumps. Hopping and skipping into the woods behind their house, a trio of kids and their loyal doggy companion head off into the wild world in search of fairies.

Forest Magic

Your enchanted guide to 50+ magical activities for everything from finding hidden flower fairies in your own backyard and making a special wizard staff to creating a tiny woodland village and making your own forest potions.

“Science facts readily interweave with a smattering of folklore as the text and charming illustrations encourage kids to charge up their imaginations and get outside….The spirits of scientific inquiry and old-fashioned wonder coexist happily here and will delight magic-minded children.”–Booklist

Gaia Cornwall loves to write and illustrate for children. She is the author-illustrator of Jabari Jumps, which was a Charlotte Zolotow Honor Book and an American Library Association Notable Children’s Book, and its follow-up, Jabari Tries, as well as The Best Bed for Me.

Susie Spikol is a naturalist at the Harris Center for Conservation Education in Hancock, New Hampshire. A lifelong animal lover, Susie now helps people of all ages connect with the natural world. She is the author of The Animal Adventurer’s Guide.
