Lanau’s Rainforest Adventure
Lanau, a child from the Iban tribe, will take your students on an exciting journey through the rainforest – after a quick stop at his home – a longhouse shared with 70 other people (wait until you see what’s in his living room!). On our rainforest journey, we see orangutans, wild pigs and camouflaged snakes. Lanau’s uncle teaches him traditional rainforest survival skills, such as finding plants that provide water and medicine - and using a blowpipe. Later, Lanau’s mom picks him up in the family boat, but no play allowed until the chores are done (wash the boat!). Next morning, Lanau’s off to school – in a school-boat. Stunning photography and lively narrative help your students to discover cultural similarities and differences between their own lives, and that of a child living deep in one of the world’s oldest rainforests.
