In the heart of the Amazon rainforest, a weary logger falls asleep beneath a towering kapok tree. As he rests, the forest's creatures—including a sloth, a jaguar, birds, and a Yanomamô child—approach in turn to whisper into his ear, explaining how the tree sustains their lives and the balance of the ecosystem. Through lyrical text and lush, full-color illustrations, Lynne Cherry delivers a powerful environmental message about interdependence, conservation, and respect for nature. This beautifully illustrated picture book invites young readers to reflect on the impact of human actions on the natural world.
