The Rainbow Almond Tree Eric Young

The Rainbow Almond tree it the tale of ancient tree in the Costa Rican Rain Forest. In that tree dwells one of Costa Rica's most beautiful birds, the Green Macaw. When the forest and this amazing tree are put in peril by loggers, the Green Macaw tries to gather its friends and save the tree. The tree represents the endangered rain forests all over the world and the parrot represents the people trying to save them. The tale was spurred on by the author's visit to Costa Rica and his passion for nature and wildlife. The lesson the book teaches is that even one person can make a difference. May more people go out and enjoy the wonders of the natural world.
