Synopsis:
The little girl of the forest embraces you, takes you by the hand, and invites you to immerse yourself in her magical world.

The trees surround you. You walk in peace. The light filters through the leaves, in a myriad green and ochre tones. It feels as if your feet are putting down roots, connecting you with the vibrant world around you. You are surrounded by birdsong, and the sound of the wind in the treetops...

You are bathing in the forest.

Our Thoughts:

In this beautiful and calming picture book, the forest is personified as a little girl who invites troubled souls to bathe in peace and contentment. She invites you to give in to your senses and enjoy the life around you.

If ever you are feeling gray, the forest will help, she says!

This book is full of amazing illustrations that include a wide array of flora and fauna that will make you feel like you are in the most magical of places. More importantly, it urges you to explore, breathe in the beauty, and let go of your worries and problems. It shares the importance of spending time in nature, slowing down, and enjoying the world around you.

It's a very beautiful book with a great message.

This book was printed on 'Stone Paper', which is an environmentally safe paper made of recycled materials that are made without using water, trees, or bleach! I think that makes this book that much more special! The pages don't feel like normal, stiff paper but they have a wonderfully smooth texture and feel to them.
