A Thriving Hub of Biodiversity

At the center of this lush rainforest stands the majestic Great Kapok Tree. Its towering canopy spreads out like a vast umbrella, providing shelter and sustenance to a multitude of creatures. From tiny frogs and insects to colorful birds and playful monkeys, the tree is a symbol of life and abundance.

Lynne Cherry's narrative raises awareness about the devastating impact of deforestation on the rainforest and its inhabitants.
