Thank you to Net Galley and Sounds True Publishing for this ARC to review.
This book has beautiful illustrations, a heartfelt story and poems throughout. It teaches us to slow down, put down our electronics and enjoy nature. Forest bathing can be done at any time of year and doesn't cost a thing. It helps us receive a sense of balance in a very fast paced world. I would share this with my Kindergarten class. For the last few months of the year, we have Forest Fridays in our class. We walk to a forested area nearby and explore. Sometimes we have a provocation in mind like, what do you see? Hear? Smell? This book fits into our curriculum and lets us see that not all learning exists inside.

Forest Bath Right Down This Path by Lisa Robinson is a beautiful ode to the natural world. On a hot summer day, Kayla suggests she and her father go forest bathing, and with some convincing, they set off into the woods. The story takes readers on a journey through the sights, sounds, and smells of nature as Kayla and her dad immerse themselves in the forest.
The illustrations in this book are beautiful and wonderfully complement the poetic narrative half of Robinson’s writing. However, the other half with the Dad and cellphone just didn't work for me. Despite that minor issue, Forest Bath Right Down This Path is an enjoyable read that inspires readers to take a break from their daily lives and find solace in nature.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
It teach us how to unite with the nature of the forest. The trees, the mud, the moss, the log, the air, the streams. I’m proud when Kayla take her father’s phone and teach him to breath and scent the air of the forest.

“Stroll here and there. Breathe long and deep. Wander and wonder.” My thanks to NetGalley , Sounds True Publishing, author Lisa Robinson and illustrator Khoa Le for an early arc. Kayla wants to go to the forest with her dad and her stuffed bunny. It took a little convincing for her dad to join her. In the forest she experiences all sorts of sounds and textures and immerses her feet in a stream. She connects with nature and her dad finally surrenders and joins her. This picture book feels like a warm hug. It took me back to the days when I used to play in the little forest at my uncle’s land and the times when I used to go outside to the orchard that was around my house as soon as I wake up. I used to spend hours playing with the soil shaded under the apricot trees. When I look back to those days fond memories emerge and warm my heart. It made me wonder why I stopped walking between the trees and grabbing handfuls of dirt. Well, maybe I should go back to making these strolls with my children now.

Forest Bath Right Down This Path is a great kids book about taking time away from technology and just being in nature and staying mindful of what surrounds you.
I'm thankful that I was able to read this ARC through Netgalley, it's one I suggest for kids to read and then head outside to your park.
