Zonia's Rain Forest

Zonia's Rain Forest | Juana Martinez-Neal

4 posts | 6 read | 5 to read

A heartfelt, visually stunning picture book from Caldecott Honor and Robert F. Sibert Medal winner Juana Martinez-Neal illuminates a young girl's day of play and adventure in the lush rain forest of Peru. Zonia's home is the Amazon rain forest, where it is always green and full of life. Every morning, the rain forest calls to Zonia, and every morning, she answers. She visits the sloth family, greets the giant anteater, and runs with the speedy jaguar. But one morning, the rain forest calls to her in a troubled voice. How will Zonia answer? Acclaimed author-illustrator Juana Martinez-Neal explores the wonders of the rain forest with Zonia, an Ashįninka girl, in her joyful outdoor adventures. The engaging text emphasizes Zonia's empowering bond with her home, while the illustrations--created on paper made from banana bark--burst with luxuriant greens and delicate details. Illuminating back matter includes a translation of the story in Ashįninka, information on the Ashįninka community, and resources on the Amazon rain forest and its wildlife.

Zonia's Rain Forest | Juana Martinez-Neal

Meh

so-so

Like a lot of contemporary picture books this tackles an important issue - the destruction of the rainforest - and has a lot of good information at the back. I liked that this is something I think kids would get excited about l. I didn‘t like that this felt mildly exploitative - like when Zonia rides a jaguar and plays hide and seek with a crocodile. #BBRC PB Letter Z #WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers @StayCurious @LibrarianRyan

I'm getting a little antsy to finish #pop21, so I am starting to fill a few of the remaining, more difficult prompts, with picture books. ? And without doing that, I never would have found this beautifully illustrated story about an Asháninka girl who lives in the Peruvian rain forest!

#pop21 Title contains Q, X or Z
