- Book Synopsis
- In a world in which books are under assault and have to compete with their digital counterparts, this book is a perfect example of what a book is at its best qua book. Here again, paper, texture and color are all lovely and worth investing in. The Forest has a high degree of quality in its materials and production; the book has thick paper, Japanese binding, and the illustrations employ both die cuts and embossing. A book that talks about the journey of mortality in an honest and endearing way that will speak to both children and adults. The Forest itself is conveyed through a series of lush, beautiful illustrations which were collaboratively produced by four pairs of hands. The book is not something that is only to be read but also experienced. Through die cut and embossed illustration, the book is made in such a way that the reader must move through the layers and textures, experiencing each page as part of a larger journey.
