An enchanting journey through the woods from the author of The Night Box and incredible artist, Helen Musselwhite.
The forest is calling me with a woodwind song …
The branches wave a friendly, green greeting.
This way? That way?
Wildflowers sway to light a path.
Wander through the woods, where wildlife and plants are waiting to be discovered in this immersive and magical paper-cut world. Helen Musselwhite’s intricate and beautifully crafted paper scenes are accompanied by Louise Greig’s lyrical voice in this magical walk through the woods.
Peep through the forest and follow a little girl on her walk through the woods, as you unfold each gorgeously detailed, handcrafted scene. An enchanting story which is also a beautiful work of art and a fantastic gift to treasure and share.
