I might go ahead and feature another one of their songs next time, just to balance out the boy/girl game. But this week? We’re listening to Mary the Fairy. It’s a song about a fairy who is a afraid to try to fly. But, like all of us when dealing with fear, she gets in a sticky situation and has to face it head on. Overall, a great message for kids about handling something they are afraid of. But with the girlie spin of fairies to reel in the enchanted enthralled, like my daughter. Plus it has some lovely harmonies along the way.
And now for the results:
MR B: Not this one! It’s too girlie!
MISS P: FAIRY!

With four daughters in the house. We are all for girlie! (new follower her and on Twitter)
It is girlie, but so cute. It’s nice calming way to sing about fear. My girls would have liked it when they were little!

Sometimes it takes something even scarier to get us to do what we’re afraid of. Sweet little Mary can fly…lol
Such a darling song, thanks for introducing us to them!
To me, it does not matter that it is girlie. I think that the idea of trying overcome fears is gender neutral. Thanks for this song.
Aw, it’s sweet. Of course, we’re all women, so we’re a little biased. Right?
Shannon – Ha! I don’t think it’s uber-feminine, but my son ain’t so in to the fairies. Now, if it was Mary the PIRATE? Well, that’s another story…
Erin – It is a pretty cute song. I love it’s simplicity too.
Becky Jane – So true! Well said…
Golden Butterflyz – I totally agree.
NYOA – this is true, we are ladies, aren’t we? But I think it’s still a pretty cute song.
