🎙️ This Week’s Story: The Great Kapok Tree
By Lynne Cherry
🌿 A modern fable with a powerful message for young Earth heroes.
Deep in the heart of the Amazon rainforest…
🪓 A man raises his axe to chop down a mighty kapok tree.
But before he can finish the job, he falls into a deep sleep—
And the forest begins to speak. 🌳👂
🐒 Parrots, jaguars, frogs—even a child from the Yanomamo tribe—
whisper in his ear about the importance of trees and how
“all living things depend on one another.”
📚 With rich, breathtaking illustrations and an urgent call to action, this beautiful tale invites kids to think about:
🌍 Nature’s balance
💚 Interconnected life
🦜 Rainforest creatures worth protecting
✋ And the power of one person to make a difference.
Perfect for young environmentalists and curious minds, The Great Kapok Tree reminds us that the Earth is speaking—
