From evergreens to Everglades
A young sparrow in northern Laos flies off with his aunt one day, to see the world. They begin by visiting Russia, where the boreal forests are different from anything in Laos. Their journey continues to other countries, and other types of forest, eventually reaching the Amazon rainforest.
At each stop, they learn about the trees and the wildlife, the value of the forest, and the threats such as fires and clear-cutting that endanger forests around the world.
