ABOUT THE BOOK 

Julie Bohmer has this to say about her new book, 'The Strange Thing Forest:'

'The Strange Thing Forest was inspired by my second grader's homework.  When he brought home a drawing of a forest with a sentence describing the forest as "terrifying and smelling like dead fish," I thought, "that's strange."  When he asked for a bedtime story that evening, the idea of a forest where strange things happen popped into my head.  Since it was bedtime, I embraced kid-friendly "strange" with a comforting ending.  What started as an impromptu creation of the imagination evolved into a story book when my kindergartner declared, "I love it."  I figured if my own children love the story, perhaps other children will love it as well.  Wishing young readers joy in reading The Strange Thing Forest.' ~Julie
