A charming and sweet easy-to-read fairy adventure comic that touches on themes of jealousy among friends and helping your community when it is in need

When Avery travels to the fairy world, all manner of curious things could happen - and this time the squirrels of the forest need help! Avery returns to the fairy world to see her friend Birch, but when she arrives on the first day of fall, it looks like the fairies are busy getting ready for the colder months ahead. With the animals they live alongside needing help in the harsher weather, it's up to Avery and Birch to deliver much-needed medicine to some local squirrels, and dodge any danger that pops up on their journey!

"Avery is back for another visit with her fairy friends, after her first encounter in Avery and the Fairy Circle (2025), and this time the tiny villagers are celebrating the first day of autumn and preparing for the coming winter. When new fairy, Sorrel, arrives in Birch's village looking for a salve to help some injured squirrels, Avery and Birch accompany him back as he tells them all sorts of fascinating things about the forest, squirrels, and other creatures. But Birch feels jealous of the attention Avery gives to Sorrel, and the friends will need to mend hurt feelings as well as injured squirrels. In her soft, enchanting artwork, Kingsbury cultivates a magical sense of place, with naturalistic plants and animals alongside the charming fairies in their midst. Realistic ecology facts are threaded throughout the fantastical story, and the overall message of caring for the environment and appreciating its natural balance is pitch-perfect for little kids charmed by the natural world. Absolutely adorable yet solidly grounded fare for fairy fans." - Booklist Review
