Description

A fascinating and beautiful journey through the rainforest canopy that's perfect for budding environmentalists.

In this picture book illustrated with stunning photographs, journey along with Dr. Meg Lowman through the rainforest. Dr. Lowman is a scientist who, with the help of slings, suspended walkways, and mountain-climbing equipment, has managed to ascend into one of our planet’s least accessible and most fascinating ecosystems.

“Fresh in outlook and intriguing in details, this book will strengthen any library collection on the rainforest.” (Booklist)
