Forest Bath

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.
