In a forest full of giants, it's hard to imagine a world so small. Soaring through the trees, befriending woodland creatures, best of friends, and adventure buddies, Twilla and Rye are just like you and your friends, but with one 'tiny' exception, they are tree sprites! Among the giant Sequoia trees in the Sierra Nevada Mountain range where they live, Twilla and Rye are looking for daisies when their adventure takes an unexpected turn. Will they be able to collect their daisies before The Festival of the Pines begins? Will they make it home before it's too late? Find out in the first book of this series.
