About this listen

Together, a Forest: Drawing Connections Between Nature's Diversity and Our Own features sound design and special effects to enhance your listening enjoyment. Listen out for the sounds of bird calling and the splashes of the winding river!

Explore a forest with a curious classroom in this breathtaking new audiobook by the author of the beloved More Than Words, and experience the essential beauty of diversity in humanity and nature.

Joy and her peers are eager to visit a nearby forest for a class trip. But Joy's excitement quickly turns into anxiety when she is asked to choose one thing in the area for a school assignment.

Seeing her classmates connecting with the natural environment, Joy discovers how each of their choices reflect the ways they relate to and interact with the world.

Together, a Forest begins as an exciting journey into nature and blossoms into a meditation on how our unique personalities and ways of being help create a more vibrant and beautiful world. The forest reveals that everyone—including those of us with disabilities and neurodivergence—belong to nature. There is no one right way for a mind, body, or person to be.

With accessible social-emotional and STEM themes, this audiobook highlights the importance of interdependence, inclusion and celebrating diversity in our communities.

A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.
