Tory Christie / Luciana Navarro Powell

In the middle of a South American jungle, a tiny brown monkey swings from a branch. Where is his place on the big, blue Earth?

Starting with a tiny monkey in the Amazon rainforest, this richly illustrated poem by scientist Tory Christie illuminates a unique geographical perspective, showcasing South America’s environment. Luciana Navarro Powell’s ever-widening views take readers from jungle to mountain to village and city, country, continent, ocean, and finally the planet in space. Endsheets include a map of South America labeling the places shown.
