| Summary |
"Sebastião adored exploring the paradise of his parents' farm in the Mata Atlântica forest of Brazil. From atop a hill, he would look at the world from a new perspective and dream of what might lie beyond his view. Then, when he went away to school, Sebastião met Lélia, who showed him how to use a camera for the very first time. When Sebastião looked through the camera, he realized he could use photography to organize how the world fit together. Because of his talent for seeing what others could not, Sebastião traveled the world and took pictures for all kinds of news stories. But after witnessing too many painful images of environmental destruction and violence, he put away his camera and returned with Lélia to his childhood home. But, when they arrived at the farm, the land was in ruins. So Lélia suggested they rebuild the rain forest and make their efforts an example to others. Through art and activism, Sebastião and Lélia would show that everyone was connected to a large ecosystem and responsible for its care, and that all may not be lost if we take action"-- Provided by publisher. |
