Forest

FOREST by Christie Matheson - the best-selling and award-winning author and illustrator of Tap the Magic Tree - is a simple introduction to the beauty and life (including plenty of adorable baby animals) within forests, showing the youngest readers why forests matter, encouraging a connection with nature, and empowering readers to become stewards for forests and the planet. , This lush, beautifully illustrated nonfiction picture book allows readers to explore the forest. It begins with a view of the forest at a distance, then zooms in on the details that make forests so special and important, encouraging children to develop a connection with nature. With minimal, rhythmic text and inviting watercolor illustrations, it's a perfect read aloud that invites questions and conversation. Accessible back matter provides information about forests and what we can do to take care of them.
