Summary

This week's featured story comes from the Martin & Sylvia collection.

It's called "Fairy Snow Fort."

This week Sylvia wakes with a plan to build a "Fairy Snow Fort," a structure that looks a lot like an igloo with one very important distinction. The whole family helps build the fort together, working steadily all day, and culminates with a star-lit dinner within. This is a story of collaboration and the joys of a full family project.
