But lucky for her (and us), she\u2019s open to anything.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the forest, she is met with some serious magic as nature shows her all that it is capable of. Get ready to be greeted by crystal-twinkling pathways, friendly mushroom sprites, and a number of wise creatures.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At just under 50 pages, this book is an easy way to incorporate some calm and positive vibes into your day. With the most beautiful illustrations and a naturally relaxing style of storytelling from R. Kwinn, this book awakens any dormant feelings of joy and appreciation.<\/p>\n<p>Reading <em>The Gran Bwa Forest <\/em>feels like a welcomed exhale after a long day. Kwinn pumps readers full of positive energy through a cozy and serene experience. If any book can transfer good vibes from their pages, it\u2019s this one.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The protagonist is not only stunning, but she\u2019s inspiring in her willingness to go with the flow and trust the process. Taken through the woods to the bottom of a lake, face to face with a wolf and beyond\u2014her curiosity makes this story always remain a mystery. You never know what she\u2019ll encounter next.<\/p>\n<p>It feels very much like anything can happen in the world that Kwinn has created here. The protagonist\u2019s open-mindedness makes each next page an opportunity for something exciting. She\u2019s got an enviable attention to detail, stopping to notice the small things on the ground or in the sky, and she\u2019s always getting rewarded for doing so. Her character is a good reminder to be present in nature and our everyday lives.<\/p>\n<p>The images in <em>The Gran Bwa Forest <\/em>far exceed expectations. Dan Raja\u2019s illustrations are so vibrant and pair so well with this bright, light fairytale story. I was in awe of the immense detail on every page. It rewards careful, searching eyes. In vivid colors, the little creatures are shown with great big personalities and the main character\u2019s joy is infectious. Kwinn\u2019s story provides an amazing setting while Raja\u2019s illustrations bring it to life. This is the kind of book you\u2019ll want to get prints of to hang on the walls, or just have sitting around on your coffee table for visitors to peruse and fall in love with.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>The Gran Bwa Forest <\/em>is a stellar escape from reality and a reminder to find the magic in everything around us. You\u2019re going to want to stay on this journey forever.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ub-buttons align-button-center orientation-button-row ub-flex-wrap wp-block-ub-button\">\n<div class=\"ub-button-container\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4eGKqDt\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"ub-button-block-main ub-button-medium ub-button-flex-medium\" rel=\"noopener\">\n<div class=\"ub-button-content-holder\"><span class=\"ub-button-icon-holder\"><\/span><span class=\"ub-button-block-btn\">Buy from Amazon<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n<p><\/p><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"ub-button-container\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/a\/5423\/9798891324107\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"ub-button-block-main ub-button-medium ub-button-flex-medium\" rel=\"noopener\">\n<div class=\"ub-button-content-holder\"><span class=\"ub-button-icon-holder\"><\/span><span class=\"ub-button-block-btn\">Buy from Bookshop<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n<p><\/p><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Thank you for reading Jaylynn Korrell\u2019s book review of<em> The Gran Bwa Forest <\/em>by R.
