"Zonia's home is the rain forest. It is her backyard and her front yard, her neighborhood and her playground. Every morning, it calls to her. Every morning, she answers: hello to the sloth family, greetings to the giant anteater, a run with the speedy jaguar... One morning, the rain forest calls to Zonia in a different voice, a troubled voice. This is the story of that morning."--book jacket.
