Wonderlit Review
Rosemary Wells's 'Forest of Dreams' is a sweet, lyrical picture book that captures the essence of spring's arrival through the eyes of a young girl. The narrative, presented in gentle rhyme, follows the transition from winter's end to the vibrant life of spring, highlighting the child's appreciation for nature's beauty. The book subtly introduces themes of gratitude and wonder, with a light spiritual undertone as the child 'praises God for the beauty of nature.' It offers a calming and reflective reading experience, making it ideal for a quiet read-aloud or a bedtime story. This book is particularly suited for children aged 4-8 who are beginning to notice and appreciate the natural world and for families who value stories that encourage thankfulness. Parents might reach for this book when discussing the changing seasons, the beauty of creation, or simply seeking a comforting, poetic read.
