A little boy is exploring the forest around him with all its colors and textures. He does this this making pictures, paintings, collages and even photography. It was interesting to see so many different ways showing the plants, seed and animals in the forest.          

The book is beautifully illustrated and it was a delightful read and discovery. There are a lot of good discussion points with the art in this book. I loved it. This would be perfect for younger children as a read aloud and many different art lessons or experiments with color and texture.
