Description
A single day in the Guatemalan rainforest is revealed in this 2018 reissue of Helen Borten's picture book. Beautiful, clear language brings to life the jungle world, with its vibrant plants and teeming animals. Under the leafy roof of the forest, time seems to have stopped. The narrative follows the sunrise-to-sunrise inner workings of a jungle, featuring vivid descriptions of the smallest happenings and more boisterous events. The text is informational yet intimate, while the illustrations skillfully render the hot and cool colors of the jungle. The result is a full impression of each moment in the jungle, with layered prints and etchings adding to the visual appeal.
