The Forest's Secret - Helping children discover the magic of nature

Discover the calm, magic and wonder that live just beyond the trees. Learn how to slow down, notice nature and carry the forest's peace with you everywhere you go. Forest Bathing (or "Shinrin-yoku") began in Japan. It is not about showers or baths! It is about spending time slowly and peacefully in nature, using all your senses to notice the magic around you. It helps your body feel relaxed, your heart feel happy, and your mind feel calm and clear. The first section of this book is a beautifully illustrated children's story, which can be used as a mindful story time or as inspiration for outdoor exploration. At the back of the book, you will find information and resources for adults all about Forest Bathing.
