👶👶👶👶: Enchanted Forests, by Astrid V.J. and various authors

I'm so excited to present this wonderful compilation of short stories that seeks to make a difference in our world!!!

𝑬𝒏𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒔 is a collection of ten fantastical short stories from various authors that have come together to support the Rainforest Foundation. All proceeds benefit this extraordinary nonprofit whose mission is to support indigenous and traditional people of the world’s rainforests in their efforts to protect their environment.

These unique stories involve enchanted forests and magical beings, and have a heartfelt lesson at their core. And because I am a kid at heart, these stories just made me so happy! It's hard to pick a favorite as they each have their merits and share different messages.

I fell in love with so many characters, but Píngguô, in Apple and the Dead Forest, was the one that tugged at my heartstrings the most. I'm such a sucker for an underdog...

Full of sage wisdom and awe-inspiring insight, this book is sure to please everyone from age 5 to 105!

"𝑲𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒅𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒍𝒆𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒅𝒆𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖. 𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒑𝒂𝒕𝒉 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏." -𝑿𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝑪𝒓𝒐𝒔𝒔

If you're looking to make a difference, this is a great way to not only give a gift that keeps on giving, but to also enjoy these heart-warming stories as an added benefit!

Many thanks to Astrid V.J. and all the amazing authors who worked together on this project and gifted me with this novel in exchange for an honest review!
