I drew "Do You Believe in Fairies?" after watching a biography on Steven Spielberg and learning of his affinity with Peter Pan.  The words "Do you believe in Fairies" come from the part in the book "Peter and Wendy" when Tinkerbell drank poison and is dying.  The only way to bring her back to life is for children who believe in fairies to clap their hands.  I am quite certain that as a boy Steven clapped his hands and has never stopped clapping.
