Finding Fairyland by Barry Poupard

This week, we are promoting a lovely children's story by Barry Poupard, Finding Fairyland.

When Julia saw the first brownish-white mushroom near the far edge of the woods, she looked past it thinking it was only a curled leaf. Then she saw another a foot or so away and she stopped walking. She scanned between the two and then imagined a line connecting them. She looked in an arc from there and found a bunch of three mushrooms and then another and several more even further around in a circle.

“Stop!” she called to McKenna who had continued walking along the trail. Julia saw the definite outline of a ring.

McKenna ran back to her and Julia pointed to the ground. “See it? It’s a circle of mushrooms. We found a fairy ring!”

Barry Poupard was born and raised in Michigan and has lived, gone to school, worked, and wrote there for most of his life. He has two kids, a boy and a girl, now grown and on their own. Though he has worked a variety of jobs, he spent the longest time working in a bookstore. He never considered writing books for younger readers until his friend asked him to write a story about her daughters that she could read to them.
