Celebrate the beauty of the natural world in this meditative picture book encouraging mindfulness, gratitude, and love for the environment—featuring illustrations painted on actual wood.

Can you hug a forest? Of course you can. First you hug the air: open your arms, lift up your chin, and breathe in all the way down to your toes. Then you hug a leaf and a flower and a trail and a stream and all the other wondrous natural elements that make up a forest. Take every chance to soak in your natural surroundings and be grateful for nature.
Industry Reviews
"A youngster deeply in touch with nature explains how to hug each part of a forest. The lulling, quiet text washes over readers, following a repetitive structure... that brings comfort and stability. Hevron’s cozy illustrations are painted directly on a wooden canvas, with wood grain peeking through delightfully in places. Plenty of opportunity for stillness and nature appreciation, wherever you may be."
