This was such a wonderful interactive book that encourages children to get outside and embrace nature, literally.
The text is simple, yet imaginative enough to hold young ones attention and get them moving.
The illustrations are warm and inviting. I love how there was more than one type of tree, and how our hugging character is made out of wood, it gave the story a somewhat whimsical feel.
