The Hidden Forest

The Tasmanian kelp forest is recreated in miniature, with natural materials of rock, sand, wood, feathers and seaweed itself combined with clay paint and resin in Jeannie Baker’s latest book. As Ben explores underwater with mask and snorkel he discovers a world of mysterious beauty which he previously feared. A book to be appreciated by the youngest readers for the simple, gentle adventure story and by older readers for the exploration of a delicate, little known ecosystem.
