Breathe in nature, touch its beauty, and listen to its sounds in this beautiful tale by Kirsten Leestma.
The English translation of the Japanese term shinrin-yoku is forest bathing. Researchers have discovered that leaving technology behind and connecting with nature, or forest bathing, is good for the body and mind. In this gentle tale, the reader embarks on a delightful wander through a forest, park, or any favorite space, using all of the senses. Just take deep breaths, amble, smell, listen, and feel your surroundings. Water is optional!
