I’ve been on a mission recently to find more comics suitable for younger kiddos for one of my nieces, and I was very pleased to come across Avery and the Fairy Circle and Spring Cakes for her current age. They’re so cute, and I love all the colors used in them. I can’t wait to give them to her later this year!
