Laura Hoffman created Magic Forest Hugging Tree out of a desire to reduce children's anxiety and lessen their pain by bringing them to safe, joyful and comforting places in their imaginations. These guided imageries help children develop strong minds and attain the personal power to feel calm within. Children have a special ability to tap into their innate capacity for healing. Magic Forest Hugging Tree teaches children how to find peace independently. Children are invited to add their own descriptions as they journey through the book.
