The Floating Forest

Description

When Smidge sits on a rock that turns out to be The Blob, she is introduced to a world of unpredictable characters, including Jinx, who is more spatter than splodge, and Nimb, a cloud-shaped dog. Together, they journey to the place where shapes dissolve - the floating forest. Written with humour and heart, The Floating Forest brings philosophy, art and ecology alive. Reminiscent of Tove Jansson's Moomintroll series and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince, Smidge is a girl known to speak her mind. Accompanied by evocative watercolour images, The Floating Forest is an entertaining, thought-provoking book with a timely focus on tiny, overlooked things that have the potential to change everything.
