The Shaman's Apprentice: A Tale of the Amazon Rain Forest - Paperback

by Mark J. Plotkin (Author), Lynne Cherry (Illustrator)

For thousands of years, in the jungles of the Amazon, shamans have passed their wisdom of the medicinal values of rain forest plants from one generation to the next. The Shaman's Apprentice tells the story of a Tirio Indian boy who dreams of one day being the tribal shaman, and how he and his people learn the importance of their own knowledge about the healing properties of the rain forest.
