The Forest by Ricardo Bozzi

5.0

I loved this book. It resonated a lot with me on both a thematic level and also as a piece of artwork. The book tells a story of a group of adventurers traveling through the forest, using the forest and the people and things met therein as a metaphor for things people will encounter in their lives as they age. The pages of the book alternate between gorgeous, textured two page spreads of a lush forest, and blank white pages where an aging face can be seen on raised paper. Though this book is aimed more for adults (who are likely to understand the philosophical implications of it better than a child), it is a suitable, emotional, and lovely book to read to children as well.
