DREAM THE FOREST WILD:
How Children Saved a Rainforest

by Sue Memhard with Jim Crisp

www.suememhard.com/ChildrensRainforest
 


The story tells about the forest and how it was created by donations from children worldwide, who raised nearly 3 million dollars and saved 64,000 acres of forest!  It's written in a lyrical, evocative verse, and begins by inviting the reader into a tropical dream of a rainforest home:

"Once there was a forest home
Tangled under a treetop dome
Deep and green as you've ever seen
Noisy and wild as you can dream..."

Later on, the story tells how the kids came together in a remarkable dream to save the forest, and then tells of the forest today, which is still wild and safe.  At the end, there is an invitation to the reader to know that "The Children's Eternal Rainforest is your home too".  There are historical details, and soon there will also be information about the critters and plants in the story, as well as general facts about rainforests.

Central to the site is the KIDS' BOOK PROJECT which involves kids illustrating copies of the story in their schools, camps, libraries etc. and selling their own editions to help the forest and their schools/communities.
