Junebug’s Magic Forest
Written by June Ellen Bradley | Illustrated by Patty Young
A Journey of Wisdom, Wonder, and Discovery
Junebug’s Magic Forest invites readers into a radiant world where curiosity leads to transformation. Through the eyes of Junebug—a spirited young creature with a heart full of wonder. Readers journey into an enchanted woodland, alive with singing waters and ancient wisdom. Each encounter offers a lesson about courage, compassion, and the importance of being together.
As Junebug follows the soft hum of the forest, she learns that every creature has a story and every challenge holds a gift. Guided by her intuition and the gentle voices of her woodland friends, she discovers a world of connection.
Filled with foundational wisdom and lyrical illustrations, Junebug’s Magic Forest is both a fable and a meditation—a story that encourages young readers (and the young at heart) to listen deeply, walk gently, and believe in the interconnectedness of all living things.
June Ellen Bradley’s storytelling shines with heartfelt authenticity and the wisdom of a renowned naturalist. Her writing captures the innocence of childhood exploration while weaving in universal truths about love, respect, and the healing power of nature.
Patty Young’s illustrations are luminous and magical, each page a living canvas of color and texture that seems to glow with its own spirit. Her art brings Junebug’s journey to life, merging dreamlike imagery with natural beauty that evokes both wonder and wholeness.
Together, Bradley and Young have created more than a children’s book, it is a keepsake of the heart, an invitation to reconnect with the sacredness of the Earth, and a gentle reminder that magic is real when we see the world through the eyes of love.
