I have been an educator for more than ten years. I just love working with children. Their imaginations are vivid and they love to learn. I have been substituting lately and many of the teachers have introduced me as "the teacher and author", sharing my book with them. So, of course, they ask me all about fairies. . . Do I believe in them? Why did I choose fairies as my subject matter? Have I ever seen a real fairy? They ask these questions with a more skeptical tone than most
