“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.”

“The art is imaginative, both in promoting the wonder of nature and the joys of being in the countryside. It’s amplified by Kingsbury designing and pacing the story to open up into a spread every few pages, and these can be joyfully explored by children with greater imagination. The quiet warmth of Avery’s adventures accompanies a simplicity and a fully realised magical alternative to reality.”
