AVERY AND THE FAIRY CIRCLE: Plant Journaling with Local Author Rowan Kingsbury

Sun, May 18 from 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm PDT
716 SE Grand Ave Portland, OR 97214

Join local author and illustrator Rowan Kingsbury to celebrate her debut graphic novel, Avery and the Fairy Circle, the story of a girl and her fairy friend exploring the local forests of the Pacific Northwest! Kingsbury will teach us the art of plant journaling so that you, too, can learn about your local flora.


About the book:

Avery stumbles into a magical circle transporting her to a wonderous fairy world.

Avery’s family has just moved to a small cottage in the forest. She is obsessed with plants and loves exploring nature outside her home until one day she stumbles into a magic fairy circle. Shrinking to the size of a teeny tiny fairy, Avery tries to find her way back home. A young fairy named Birch agrees to help her reverse the magic, but only if Avery helps her complete some fairy chores! Hopefully, Avery can befriend Birch and complete the tasks required if she wants to return home before her parents discover she is missing…
