Can a walk in the woods feel like a bath for your senses? In this playful and calming story--it absolutely does!
Forest Bath is a delightful picture book that invites children to explore nature with all five senses. Inspired by the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku (forest bathing), a child and her mom take a slow, mindful walk through the woods--squishing moss, smelling flowers, listening to birds, and splashing in puddles. Just like a bath, it's refreshing, soothing, and full of wonder.
Whether your child needs a moment of calm or a new way to connect with the outdoors, Forest Bath is a joyful invitation to slow down and soak up the magic of nature.

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"[T]his tale soaks up the sights, sounds, and senses of the woods while the child's watchful mother stands nearby. . . . The clever use of terms associated with a traditional bath ("test the water") makes the story even more relatable. Barton's words and Henditirto's luminous artwork combine for a sensuous experience that just might prompt readers to take a quick walk or dip into the woods or a nearby park. An enticing demonstration of nature's simple healing pleasures."--Kirkus Reviews
