A 2018 CBC Hot Off the Press selection Selected for exhibition in the 2018 Society of Illustrators Original Art show "Uncommonly beautiful...the sheer marvel of the design, together with the inclusive, open-ended mystery of what lies beyond the forest, makes this a wondrous piece of bookmaking for all ages. Much like a poem, it will evoke new emotions and layers of meaning with repeated readings."-- Publishers Weekly " The Forest is one of the richest, most surprising picture books I've ever read. A true work of art in every sense, including as bookmaking. It's a landmark."--Bruce Handy "As a book / object / artwork, this is just NUTS. And beautiful."--Simon Armstrong, Book Buyer at Tate Modern "The vibrant forest and its creatures peeking through the die-cut eyes of the barely visible faces remind us that the human role in nature is not that of conqueror or king but of humble witness and passing visitor." --Maria Popova, Brain Pickings "This is an essentially existential children's book, which imagines human life itself as an exploration through that famed and sometimes dark forest in which we have often been said to find ourselves. Like pretty much every title published by the small, independent Enchanted Lion books, it is a gorgeous, singular, unimprovable book. The story starts: 'It is an enormous, ancient forest that has not yet been fully explored.' Inside, a series of bas-reliefs and cut-outs on plain paper shows us first a baby, then a young child ... and on through to an old, wrinkled face that eventually yields, becoming lines in a landscape from which new greenery grows. Between the images of a human aging, we see forests, jungles and fields, with animals and humans making their way, sometimes alone, sometimes in a group. Somehow 'The Forest' is a work of art that escapes feeling like an 'art object' -- it succeeds in being for children. The ink on its mylar dust jacket makes a distinctively beautiful sound. The eye-holes and occasional unfoldings alter a reader's sense of space. 'It is said that the forest has a certain limit if you look straight ahead, but the sides are boundless.' This book takes on even death: 'At the end of the climb there is a ravine into which each explorer will eventually fall, despite the precautions taken and the advancements of science.' This fall didn't bother my 4-year-old at all. She took interest in the new seedlings, the disappearance of the textured pages, and the return of the pines."--Rivka Galchen, The New York Times Book Review "For those willing to explore the book with the wonder of a child, each page turn will have you not only going deeper in the forest, but also witnessing the passage of time. Bozzi's writing captures an openness and a sense of mystery which, when paired with the book's actual physicality, may have each forest explorer come to see their lives anew, renewed, and renewable."--Lori Horbas, Boswell Book Company, Milwaukee, WI "At first, it seems like the prose is merely describing a walk through a forest, but taken together, the words become deeply poignant. Bozzi meaningfully gestures towards love, hate, nostalgia, language, wisdom, death, and rebirth, usually indirectly. It's a beautiful object, with a stunning, highly tactile layout, and while it's not quite clear who the ideal audience would be--adults and artistically inclined teenagers might like it, too--those who connect with its enigmatic beauty will be transfixed."--Sarah Hunter, Booklist, "As a book / object / artwork, this is just NUTS. And beautiful."--Simon Armstrong, Book Buyer at Tate Modern, BOOK BUYER, BOOKSTORE, AND LIBRARIAN REVIEWS "As a book / object / artwork, this is just NUTS. And beautiful.", REVIEWS STARRED REVIEW!

A true work of art in every sense, including as bookmaking. It''s a landmark."--Bruce Handy "As a book / object / artwork, this is just NUTS.
