Una nena es passeja per un bosc. Observa els arbres, la natura. Un cop a casa, la llum de la posta de sol s?escola pels vidres. El bosc segueix alla, dins i fora, i vol jugar amb ella. A l?hora del bany, del sopar, del descans i el somni, la natura aconsegueix esmunyir-se a l?interior de la llar per recordar-li, de forma subtil, meravellosa i magica, que sempre es alla: a la cadira de fusta que ens soste, a l?aroma del pa calent, als refilets, als xiulets del vent i, fins i tot, al suau pes del nostre gat. Deborah Underwood narra amb senzillesa i claredat una historia que es alhora intimista i reveladora. El seu lirisme s?entrellaça amb les evocadores il·lustracions en tinta i aquarel·la de Cindy Derby, per construir un cant a aquesta natura que som, malgrat els murs. No hi ha bosc ni esser viu aillat: On ets tu? El bosc espera.

Una niña pasea por un bosque. Observa los árboles, la naturaleza. Una vez en casa, la luz del atardecer entra por los cristales. El bosque sigue ahí, den-tro y fuera, queriendo jugar con ella mientras dibuja o juega con su perro? A la hora del baño, de la cena, del descanso y el sueño, la naturaleza consi-gue colarse en el interior del hogar para recordarle, de forma sutil, maravi-llosa y magica, que siempre esta ahi: en la silla de madera que nos sostiene, en el aroma del pan caliente, los trinos, los silbidos del viento, e incluso en el suave peso de nuestro gato. Deborah Underwood narra con sencillez y claridad una historia que es al mismo tiempo intimista y reveladora. Su lirismo se entrelaza con las evo-cadoras ilustraciones en tinta y acuarela de Cindy Derby, para construir un canto a esa naturaleza que somos, a pesar de los muros. No hay bosque ni ser vivo aislado: ¿Donde estas tu? El bosque espera.
