Pilu of the Woods by Mai K. Nguyen
5.0
"I don't really think things can just disappear...Just 'cause you cant see it, doesn't mean its not important...doesn't mean it's gone. That's how it is in nature."
This was such a sweet story! Beautiful illustrations and a really emotional plot.

After and argument with her big sister, Willow runs away to the woods. Here she meets Pilu, a lost tree spirit, and they explore the woods together.
The messaging in this story was so lovely. Willow is forced to face her 'monsters' and work through some really difficult emotions. Pilu doesn't want to go home, but Willow is determined to help her find her way back. Both Willow and Pilu are able to draw from each others' experiences and help one another find a solution to the problems they are facing. Showing these conversations and events is so powerful - it's so important that young readers (and young people in general) see that talking about their feelings can be a massive help if they are struggling with something!
I really enjoyed this, honestly can't believe how emotional it made me! Would definitely recommend.
