‘My Forest is Green’ is a story of a young photographer exploring the fascinating details of his forest. The book highlights the smaller parts that make up the larger whole, and explores both concrete and abstract adjectives. Younger readers will enjoy relating the cute illustrations and relating the story to their own surroundings, whether it’s their local park, forest, or their own backyard. More advanced readers will love the alternating perspectives and the clever relationships between the different pages.
Inspired by the parks and forests of my community, photo enthusiasts and nature lovers alike will want to
have this book in their collection. For parents who wish to foster an appreciation of nature in their children, ‘My Forest is Green’ will not only be a great companion, but also serve as a catalyst for inquiry based learning
in young readers.
