The Tin Forest

Product Description

The Reading Rainbow programs are designed to encourage children to read by transporting them to exciting, real-life settings. The series introduces kids to interesting new people and places, explores social and cultural issues, and offers a close-up look at the world around them. Its dynamic, fast-paced, colorful animation and hip music entertain and reinforce these experiences, and help children embrace positive reading habits, skills and attitudes.

In this book a lonely, old man who lives in a gray place, surrounded by other people’s discards, builds the forest of his dreams.

Deeply affected by the events of September 11th, LeVar spends time with students of P.S. 234, an elementary school just blocks away from Ground Zero. Challenged by tremendous upheaval, students share how they have endured their situation better than anyone would imagine. Together with Reading Rainbow the entire school creates a music video to share their powerful message of gratitude and hope.
