Orangutan and her family live in a vast emerald forest, bursting with
life.
She teaches her babies what food to eat, how to swing through trees, how
to build a sleeping nest. Life is good... until one day a monstrous
machine tears Orangutan's tree from the ground. The family have to leave
the emerald forest - but where can they go to?
This powerful and moving picture book is set in tropical Sumatra, an
island that has lost almost half its rainforest cover in recent years.
The story graphically describes the reactions of an orangutan family to
the destruction of their age-old home, but also shows how wildlife
campaigners are bringing hope for the future.
