The Lively Forest

Description

The Lively Forest brims with community and connections. So wander, explore, and discover the playful trails. In addition, meet the diverse animals and plants that call the forest home.

Building on her award-winning book, The Mighty River, Ginalina again weaves together look-and-find excitement and early nature observations. Above all, The Lively Forest invites care for the forest in readers of all ages. So come and connect with the community in nature. A portion of each book sold supports children connecting with nature and learning outdoors.

Ginalina is a Canadian family folk singer and songwriter. In fact, her albums have been nominated for the Juno Awards, the Canadian Folk Music and the Western Canadian Music Awards. Her rootsy, upbeat music matches her positive messages. Excitingly, The Lively Forest is her second book. Just like Ginalina’s music, you will enjoy it over and over again. Check out Ginalina here.

Kelley Wills combines painting, hand illustration, and graphic design. She is an artist based out of Eugene, OR.

Review from Colin Harris, Founder of Take Me Outside:

“The Lively Forest is really a joyful and attractive book to read. The playful text and detailed illustrations will encourage children to observe the birds, appreciate the trees, and be inspired by nature again and again. I’m happy for my friend [Ginalina], and hope that these pages travel far and wide into the hearts of families everywhere for the sake of connecting more kids with nature.”
