Reviews / Votes
"...the little girl encourages readers to relax and open their senses to the natural healing experience found in wooded areas. The heart's story is in the right place." -Kirkus Reviews"This picture book is a true celebration of nature, not only because of its greenish illustrations that capture the essence of the trees, plants and animals that live inside this ecosystem, but also because of the coherent editorial proposal attached to the certification "Cradle to Cradle", ensuring that none of the pages of this sensitive story comes from water, trees or chlorine." -Canal Lector
