“Yara and the Yellow-Headed Parrots” is a beautiful tale of a little girl named Yara who loves the Rain Forest and all of its inhabitants. Yara loves watching over parrot parents who built the nest for their little ones very carefully. They put it high on the branch of a tree, hoping their two babies would be safe from all dangers there. Yara noticed a young man with a sack lurking around near the parrot nest. She wanted to know about his plans. Clearly, Yara noticed the young man was sad when he told her the baby birds would bring him a good price. He explained he needed the money to pay doctor bills for his child. Yara offered the man a better plan. She knew someone in the forest who had marvelous healing abilities. How did Yara know such a thing? Because the doctor had healed her of the same disease that plagued the young man’s son. I loved the story. The rhymes were perfect and the message was one all children should hear; It’s important to protect the environment. Not only that, but also, there are often better alternatives to any situation that you may not have considered. As in all of Yossi Lapid’s books, the illustrations are extraordinary. I highly recommend this story to children and families.
