Walk the Rainforest with
Niwupah
Aparajita Datta and Nima Manjrekar
Art by Maya Ramaswamy
Join Niwupah the Hornbill on a tour of his rainforest home,
where the sights we see and the sounds we hear, the scents
we smell and the creatures we meet, are like nothing
we’ve ever imagined! Find out more about this strange and
wonderful
bird, too!
Authors Aparajita Datta and Nima Manjrekar, both wildlife specialists,
have simplified the complex ecosystem of the rainforest, making it easy to
understand and fun to read. Walk the Rainforest With Niwupah is a good
introduction to the world of wildlife.

Earthsong
Geeta Dharmarajan
Art by Enrique Lara and Luis Garcia
A lyrical tribute to the earth and its amazing
diversity, by Geeta Dharmarajan. With fun
facts, information and superb, out-of-this-world
artwork by Enrique Lara and Luis Garcia.
Geeta Dharmarajan has a unique way of adding life even to
the most boring subjects. If you read Earthsong, you’ll realize
it’s not the environmental studies book you must have read in
school. Or maybe it is, just a better one, a much better one.
