Book Details

Walking through a dark forest, a young boy learns to treasure his memories and find his true path.

Lost and alone, a young boy enters the forest not knowing the path that lies before him. He meets a figure called Emptiness who guides him on his way. Together they find keepsakes deep in the forest that trigger memories, both good and bad. As he moves closer to the sun-filled meadow on the other side of the forest, the boy learns that to be truly happy, he must embrace his past.

A powerful tale about the importance of memories in the winding journey of life.

“A dreamy tale about healing and the special way our memories can help us navigate change, Through The Forest is a beautiful story to share with any child but especially those dealing with a loss or transition”
