Amazon Rainforest Magic: The Adventures of Namowë, a Yanomami Boy

SERIES: AMAZON RAINFOREST MAGICThe magic of the Amazon rainforest enchanted artist Barbara Crane Navarro as she spent the winter months with the Yanomami communities in Venezuela and Brazil over a period of twelve years. These travels inspired her to write her children's books. The vividly illustrated stories in this series evoke daily life in the rainforest and the magical quality of the Yanomami's relation to the plants and animals around them. The first book, 'Amazon Rainforest Magic: The Adventures of Namow , a Yanomami Boy', recounts the journey of Namow , a thirteen year old Yanomami boy living in the rainforest, as he seeks a cure for his baby sister.
