Book Description
Annabelle's dad has little time for fairies, which he assures her she won't find in the cement and the weeds of their urban backyard. But Annabelle has lots of time, so she keeps looking -- even under her baby brother, Sam. And one day she finds what she's looking for: a thumb-sized fairy child named Jethro Byrd, whose family has made an awkward landing in a tiny ice cream truck among some discarded bottles and cans. What a wonderful chance to invite all the Byrds for tea with Mommy and Daddy! But why, Annabelle wonders -- as the fairies fiddle and sing and dance and whistle away among the cake crumbs -- are she and Sam the only ones who can see them?
Bob Graham is back, as magical as ever, with a wry tale about the rewards of paying attention -- and the marvelous discoveries to be made by seeing the world through the wide-open eyes of a child.
Publishers Weekly
Combining the humorous, the magical and the mundane, Graham (Max; Benny) creates another warm, sweet-natured picture book. As Annabelle plays alongside the fence near her family's apartment building, she hears something bounce down from the sky. Upon investigation, Annabelle meets Jethro Byrd, a boy as big as her finger, and his family, all of whom happen to be fairies. Annabelle invites the Byrds to tea, with the full support of her parents. As the Byrds enjoy cakes and chamomile tea and entertain with song and dance, Annabelle and her brother, Baby Sam, are delighted; their mother and father oblivious. The parents earnestly pretend to see the Byrds, but, as one fairy tells Annabelle, grown-ups [don't] have time for fairies. Graham's not-too-subtle message about slowing down to enjoy the small wonders of life will resonate with children and adults alike. His ink-and-watercolor paintings easily shift from human to fairy scale and back. The winged Byrds, wearing contemporary clothes and traveling in a flying ice-cream truck, suggest a wide and welcoming fantasy world.
Children's Literature
In a pleasing, oversized format, Graham presents a charming story about fairies and a child, Annabelle, who can see them (even though her accepting parents can't because they "don't have time to look"). Annabelle meets a fairy boy, Jethro, when his ice cream truck drops from the sky. Jethro's family had decided to stop for tea, but the fairy father made a bad landing. Annabelle recruits her indulgent parents help to serve the fairies tea. Her parents willingly bring out cakes and Annabelle's little tea set, even though they know the fairies don't exist. But they do. By way of conversation, Annabelle asks the fairies, "Can you make magic?" to which the fairy father replies "We just make hamburgers" and tells her that they are on their way to a Fairy Travelers' Picnic. Graham's watercolor and ink illustrations picture the fairy family sitting around on the plate edge talking to Annabelle while the human Dad works on his laptop, the human baby watches while the fairy baby sleeps in a cupcake liner, and the human mom lovingly watches Annabelle "imagine" these very real beings. It is a perfectly satisfying realization of what most children hope that just beyond are view there are fairy beings having a fine time. Graham uses a quote from Hebrews about entertaining strangers for some may be angels unawares, but the text is content to let these just be fairies from all over enjoying this very real world and a child who does have the time to look.
School Library Journal
A girl spends all of her free time searching for fairies in the scraggly grass and dirt that line the concrete path of her family's urban home. Like most adults, "Annabelle's dad had little time for fairies. 'you won't find fairies in cement and weeds-as far as I know.'" Yet on a warm summer day, the child sees something hit the fence and bounce off the driveway. "There she met a boy-as big as her finger. He hitched up his jeans, flew onto a leaf, and wiped his nose on the back of his sleeve. '[I'm] Jethro Jethro Byrd I'm a Fairy Child.'" Much to Annabelle's delight, Jethro and his family agree to stay for some tea and cake. Her mother plays along, and agrees to make some tea for her guests, even though she and her husband cannot see them. After tea, the fairies must move on, but Annabelle is changed by the meeting. Graham's charming watercolor-and-ink artwork has muted shadows and an affectionate softness that complement the magical undertones of the story. One spread shows a crouching Annabelle, grand and gargantuan, holding Jethro's father on her pinky, while Jethro, his mother, and grandmother flit about nearby. Pair this with Hans Christian Andersen's "Thumbelina," or use it to introduce John Peterson's "The Littles" (Scholastic) to a new generation of fairy seekers.
Kirkus Reviews
A light, sweet story of a little girl who finds a fairy family in her backyard-and a reminder to save time to notice the unseen world, which to children is often very real. Annabelle looks for fairies in the garden every day, while her little brother follows along and her parents go about their daily business. Annabelle's father is completely unable to see the fairy family Annabelle finds, although he humors her. Her mother seems somewhat more receptive, but it's hard to tell if Mom can actually see the little creatures. The basic, stylized, pen-and-watercolor illustrations emphasize the difference in sizes between Annabelle's human family and the Byrd family of fairies. Cutely chubby, frizzy-haired Annabelle is a veritable giant from the fairies' point of view, and the fairies will seem fascinatingly tiny to readers; the fairy baby Cecily is "as big as a fingernail," and the watch the fairies give Annabelle as a parting gift fits on her finger, not her wrist. The quote from Hebrews that opens the text, encouraging hospitality to strangers because some of them may be angels, characterizes the worthy concept behind this deceptively simple tale.
