Helping Children Discover the Magic of Nature by Wellness coach, forest bathing expert and children’s author This is the first UK-originated children’s picture book to integrate forest bathing, sensory mindfulness, and research-backed wellbeing guidance in one accessible, story-led format. It provides a story-based approach to integrating nature into children’s everyday lives.
The Forest’s Secret is a gentle, immersive picture book that introduces children to the calming magic of forest bathing – no water required. Through the story of a young girl and her grandmother, readers discover how nature can soothe, support and strengthen us, both physically and emotionally. Blending heartfelt storytelling with evidence-based wellbeing practices and sensory activities, the book invites families and educators to explore how spending time in green spaces can reduce stress, lift mood, and nurture resilience. It’s both a bedtime story and a practical guide to helping children reconnect with the natural world..
