About The Book Fairy
A career Children’s Librarian, the Book Fairy (a.k.a. kittenpie) has worked in library systems in both New York and Toronto, and delights in sharing favourite books with kids of all ages. Since she can’t help but force books on people, she’s thrilled to have another place to do it without creeping people out the way she does at the bookstore.

The projects are simple enough if you have any handy dad cred, but the real fun begins as you get into tougher stuff, which are pretty darn cool. Some of the major projects involve more space and pricier materials, but would totally be worth it if you can swing them -- "Swing" being one of them, in fact...
