Sky Castle

by Sandra Hanken, Jody Bergsma (Illustrator)

In this magical book, three little fairies help our imaginations soar as we build a dream castle in the sky. Sandra Hanken's poetic vision and Jody Bergsma's vivid illustrations create a majestic kingdom where all creatures are welcome. Intriguing Celtic borders twist through each page, adding special touches of mystery and creation. Once it's complete, the entire castle slides down to the Earth "on moonbeams and music and prayers."

If you want something published under the banner of "Illumination Arts", this fits the bill. Jody Bergsma's artwork looks like the best of Steohen Cosgrove mixed with the best of Michael Hague. The story itself, told in rhyming quatrains, is charming, if a little uniform.

[Julie]

Gorgeously illustrated, no doubt. The child fairies are multiracial, as well. And two things I must mention: 1: Spotted Ponies and 2: Dragon with socks.

[Hillary]

Beautiful artwork, but the story is not very interesting and kind of strange.

[Nicoswan]

Enjoyable.

[Nicole]

Beautiful illustrations. Such a cute story of how the fairy world helped create the world around it and take care of it. Such a positive book for children!

[Phil]

Lovely words and Jody's art is amazing as always! Found in a Little Free Library today and I'm keeping it because of Jody's art which I have collected over the years.
