Yara's Tawari Tree by Yossi Lapid
Very imaginative children's colorful rhyming story where words are easy to read because of the size and they stick out=not getting hidden in dark pictures.
You can not only see what is going on with the clearing but you can read the words.
Amazon jungles: Yara goes off to collect berries and other food in the woods til they come across a shout for help from the seedling.
The grandmother comes to visit and when Yara falls sick they start looking for a certain cure:
from a tree that she's been unable to find any more...Love hearing about the medicinal things made from the Amazon trees, this is PRICELESS!
Very fine detailed drawings of jewelry and other things important to their culture.Such a perfect book for earth day this week. This is also a coloring book made from this story available.
Received this free review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.
