Everyone knows that going outside is good for you! By slowing down, tuning in to the senses, and noticing the environment around them, kids can learn how to practice mindfulness and to appreciate the value of the natural world just outside their doors. So when its time for a bath, a child slips into the neighborhood park to practice the Japanese concept of forest bathing in this clever story about connecting with nature. Join them as they immerse themselves in nature and inspect mushrooms, squish spongy moss, splash in a puddle, and more, all playfully described with familiar bathtime words. Gorgeous illustrations capture the richness and calm the woods supply.
