The Hidden Forest

A stunning exploration of a beautiful but endangered world, by the creator of the award-winning 'Where the Forest Meets the Sea' and 'Window'.

Looking for his lost fish trap, Ben thinks he sees something dark moving under the water. Is it a creature or only his imagination? Diving into the sea with his friend Sophie, he is amazed to discover a wonderful hidden world -- and the rich variety of creatures that live there.

• A picture book that is essential in every school and home -- a simple way to study the effects of how we live on the world around us.
• Each of the pages is lovingly created and clearly shows Jeannie’s respect for our surroundings -- a novel and unusual way to see under water.
• 'When you see kelp forest under the water and you’re looking up, the sun is like the light of the sky: it penetrates the water’s surface and shoots rays down as in a rainforest. The forest is very magical and mysterious, and fish appear at times, like birds flying through the trees.' Jeannie Baker
