Emilia and the Heart of the Amazon

Meet Emilia, the daughter of a conservation scientist. Emilia is precocious, adventurous and resourceful. When her father falls ill in the middle of the Brazilian rainforest, Emilia ventures out into the jungle in search of the Cinchona tree, whose bark and leaves could save his life.

Along the way she meets a young girl from the Ticuna Tribe who reluctantly agrees to serve as her guide; a pair of goofy spider monkeys who, despite their good intentions, may just do more harm than good; a jaguar who is as elusive as he is mysterious; and a beautiful Morpho butterfly whose changing shape teaches her the wisdom of the heart of the Amazon.

When a construction team sent to build a hydroelectric dam threatens to destroy the forest and the lives of those within, Emilia and her friends must join forces to stop them before all is lost. Learn how an American, a Brazilian, and all of Earth’s creatures and natural resources are connected – and why preserving the rainforest is more important now than ever.
