Foraging in the Forest

By Jonathan Bowen and Charlene Bowen

In this charming Scampering Meadows adventure, the Mouse Family heads into the forest for a day of foraging fun. Papa Mouse invites the children-and their forest friends-to search for the most interesting treasures God has hidden in nature.
The young mice set off in pairs, each eager to discover something special. Joey climbs high to find a giant leaf, Peter finds a hole-filled stone, Andy discovers a bright red mushroom, and others collect fluffy seeds, birch bark, and colorful autumn leaves. Everyone seems to find something wonderful-except Lucy.
Lucy becomes discouraged as the day goes on, but Papa gently reminds her to rejoice with others and to be patient. At last, over a mossy log, Lucy discovers her own treasure: a tiny, brilliant red leaf that fills her with joy.
Back at home, Momma helps her turn the leaf into a beautiful leaf rubbing to hang on her wall. As Papa places it above her bed, Lucy remembers the lessons she learned-gratitude, patience, and rejoicing with others-while celebrating the beauty of God's creation.
A warm, faith-filled story, Foraging in the Forest encourages children to appreciate nature, wait patiently, and find joy in both their blessings and the success of others.
