Join Thaddeus, a faerie boy, on an unforgettable adventure in the first book of The Backyard Faeries series!
In a magical home hidden beneath a maple tree in a family's backyard in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Thaddeus loves exploring and teaching his siblings about their surroundings. The backyard is their playground and classroom. While exploring with his siblings one sunny day, an iridescent green grasshopper catches Thaddeus's attention. The chase is on! But the pursuit leads him away from his family and into unfamiliar parts of the garden.
Alone and lost, Thaddeus turns to the garden's friendly inhabitants—from a wise caterpillar to the magical Flower Faeries and the elemental air beings known as Sylphs, each offering him insights and guidance and introducing him to the unseen magic that surrounds us all.
Throughout his journey, Thaddeus discovers wisdom in the whispers of the wind, the healing properties of plants, and the interconnectedness of all living beings. In Thaddeus and the Great Grasshopper Chase, children will be inspired by Thaddeus' journey of discovery and the lessons learned about respecting and caring for Mother Earth.
Listeners will know about nature's magic, the importance of staying connected with loved ones, and the magic hidden in their backyards. The Backyard Faeries series is more than just a whimsical children's adventure—it's an educational journey that teaches an appreciation for nature, the importance of environmental conservation, and the magic that surrounds us daily. This series is a perfect addition to homeschooling curriculums and for those interested in holistic healing and nature-inspired magic.
