Told in gentle rhyming verse, this beautiful non-fiction picture
book follows the story of a flock of colourful macaws as they live
their lives in the Amazon rainforest. Through the voice of one of
the macaws, we hear about the bounty of the rainforest, as well as
the challenges they have faced - threatened by the destruction of
their home through machinery and forest fires to make room for vast
plantations. Still, there are some areas where the land is
protected and they can live a life of freedom among the trees...
perhaps in the future, humans will learn the true value of the
forest once again? Accompanying non-fiction pages at the end of the
book include information on on endangered macaws, the importance of
the rainforest, and the causes of deforestation, as well as what we
can do to help.
