ABOUT THE BOOK
Judith Weinshall Liberman wrote THE LITTLE FAIRY Iin the early
1980s, but it was not until 2012 that she first published the
story. This she did in her book REFLECTIONS: Poems, Lyrics, and
Stories, an anthology created in collaboration with her daughter,
Dr. Laura Liberman. THE LITTLE FAIRY tells the story of a little
boy, Jonathan, who has some endearing qualities: He loves books,
and he believes in magic. Using one of his magic tricks to select a
book at the library, he is surprised - and delighted - to see a
live little fairy emerging from the book. Taking the book home, he
hopes to spend quality time getting to know the little fairy, but
the reaction of members of his family frustrates his plans. Yet, as
if by magic, the story has a surprise happy ending.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Born in Israel (then called "Palestine"), Judith Weinshall
Liberman came to the United States in 1947 to pursue higher
education. She earned four American university degrees, including
two in law. After settling in the Boston area in 1956, she studied
art and creative writing. Beginning in the early 1960s, and for
four decades thereafter, Ms. Liberman created numerous series of
artworks. Her art has been widely exhibited, and is represented in
the collection of museums and other public institutions. During her
long career in visual art, Ms. Liberman wrote and published several
books. Her book THE BIRD'S LAST SONG (Addison-Wesley, 1976), which
she wrote and illustrated, won a citation as one of the "fabulous
books of the year." In 2012, she published her second children's
book, ICE CREAM SNOW. Judith Weinshall Liberman's archives can be
found in the Fine Arts Department of the Boston Public Library and
at the Smithsonian Archives of American Art.
ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATOR
In 2012 Judith Weinshall Liberman decided that THE LITTLE FAIRY
would make a lovely children's book if properly illustrated. Since
she did not feel that, in light of her deteriorating eyesight, she
could do justice to illustrating the book herself, she selected a
fine artist, Ms. Gail Davis, to create the illustrations under the
author's guidance. Ms. Davis' illustrations for THE LITTLE FAIRY
are not only beautiful as works of art, but also capture the spirit
of the story and of the characters. Through her rendition of the
fairy, Jonathan, the librarian, and members of Jonathan's family,
Ms. Davis has created a world that is both enchanting and
memorable.
