From the publisher

Avery the Fox is a gentle fox living in a tall-treed forest who feels different from the others. Born male but knowing in her heart that she is a girl, Avery struggles with not being accepted and wonders why she feels out of place among the other animals. When a wise owl notices Avery's unhappiness, it offers comfort and guidance, likening Avery's true self to a sunrise or a rainbow--beautiful just as it is. The owl explains what it means to be transgender and helps Avery understand that being assigned male at birth does not define her identity. With renewed confidence, Avery finds the courage to stand tall and claim who she is. She learns that gender is not about labels or colors, but about living truthfully and kindly--bringing her closer to joy, self-acceptance, and harmony.
