This simple text has beautiful illustrations and would be great for primary classrooms. You could talk about each page and what role the animal listed has in the forest.

This is a beautifully illustrated picture book. The message is a simple one - that the forest is a home. That the plants, animals, insects all belong there. They belong and it is our job to protect their home. The story is very short and simple. It would be a great read aloud and allow for students to discuss their thoughts on nature. It would also allow easy science and art content connections to be made.

I will be adding this titled to my classroom when it become available in April of 2024.

Thanks you Net Galley and Princeton Architectural Press for allowing me access to the ebook ARC.

Thanks to Chronicle Books for this ebook!

This is such a sweet and peace-filled introduction to the vitality and depth of our forests. I especially appreciate the watercolor artwork and the notes in the back about caring for nature.

I enjoyed the watercolor illustrations of the book. The short phrases and sentences were ideal for a very young audience. I thought the addition of action items at the end, under the heading "Taking Care of Our Forests" was a nice touch, providing some jumping-off points for classroom use and activist extension activities.

I love the mountains and forest. This book was a great depiction of the beauty in the forest. The illustrations are amazing. Simple text but does a great job showing what a forest is.
