About the Author

After studying painting and other art techniques at R.I.S.D., I got my BFA at San Francisco Art Institute. In 1977 I fell in love with Paris, where I still live. For over twelve years, my life and my art have been transformed during winter trips to Venezuela and Brazil to Yanomami communities. My enchantment with the Amazon Rainforest evolved into burning my sculptures as performance art to protest against the ongoing destruction of the world's tropical forests and the degradation of the way of life of the indigenous peoples who depend on them. I've been inspired to write a series of books for children that describe the way of life of the Yanomami communities and the magical connection they have with the nature that surrounds them.

Painting and reading books were the most important part of my life ever since I was a small child.

After studying painting and other art techniques at R.I.S.D. I moved to California and continued studying painting, photography and art history for my BFA at the San Francisco Art Institute.

In 1977 I fell in love with Paris, and all of France, where I still live.

Since 1995 my life and my art have been transformed during winter trips to Venezuela and Brazil and time spent with Yanomami communities. My enchantment with the Rainforest evolved into burning my sculptures as performance art to protest against the ongoing destruction of the world's tropical forests and the degradation of the way of life of the indigenous peoples who depend on them for their existence.

Living among the Yanomami inspired me to write a series of fantasy adventure books for children that describe the way of life of the Yanomami communities and the magical connection they have with the nature that surrounds them.

He is extremely visual. « The Wizard of Oz" is his favorite movie; if he has watched it once, he has watched it one hundred times. Same with Barbara's two books.

    I got this on Sunday of all days, that's good service. I've always had a fascination with the indigenous tribes of the Amazon and this and its companion are enchanting stories which paying homage to them. I only gave a 4 star review because there are 2 typos in the book ( the accent mark on the end of Namowë's name is missing, a lapse in consistency, and the author misspelled 'conversation' by leaving out the 's') as pictured. When writing any book, especially a children's book, make sure you have a proof reader, so the children don't grow up illiterate.

    After reading the enchanting Volume I of a continuing story, I was curious as to how the tale of the Yanomami tribe would evolve through its young characters. Not surprisingly, Volume II focused not on the boy, Namowe, but on his little sister, Meromi. The scene and story were set more quickly this time. Characters seemed like old friends. The story line was a thread from the previous book. While a familiar theme--a young girl denied that which is accessible only to boys, her dream of breaking through that barrier, her drive to prove the grownups wrong about boys superiority--it's a theme worth repeating a thousand times with the hope a thousand young girls take it to heart and effect change in their lifetimes. Along with the message, the reader is treated to a visual feast of beautiful illustrations by Barbara Navarro. These alone are worth the price of the book. I wish I could tear them out and frame them as a collage, but I don't want to spoil the book, along with the chance to share it with a young girl who may be inspired by Meromi's determination to become who she knows she was born to be. As she said to Uncle, "You can't choose what you dream. Dreams choose you!" Choose this book.

    This is the second book on Meromi, Yanomami girl and born healer. She wants to be a shaman - and even more if everyone says that girls can not ... One day, she is far from her village, and is helped by a dolphin. While swimming, the two discover a camp of gold miners, destroying the forest. How to make them run away? It's time for Meromi to use her gift for speaking with the animals ... A book for young people and others who still know how to dream.

    A story, not only unique and entertaining, but with an important social purpose as well. It is beautifully conceived, wonderfully executed and elegantly illustrated. The illustrations truly evoke the character and culture of the space, time and people.

    The story reaches you on many levels, coming of age in any culture, the special and unique aspects of cultures little touched by western influence and the impact our destructive activities in the rainforest have on that which is most impacted (humans, animals, plants and the overall ecosystem).

    It is a story that can reach and interest all ages. Whether talking about the story and pictures with a preschool child, reading and discussing the story with one a little older, reading and reporting on the book at an older level or just relaxing with the story and illustrations as an adult or grandparent, all will learn and enjoy. I certainly did. Focused on a girl as a leader coming of age, it is the perfect complement to the first book in the series, where her brother does the same.

    The lush rainforest is magic and for the people who live there, located near tributaries that are squeezed between the vast pressure from the mighty Amazon and Orinoco Rivers. This is their world and not for civilization to change and destroy. Thanks to the author for telling and showing us the beauty. We hope that the magic will remain for generations to come...

    It brings back memories to me of going to the grammar school library and reading over and over the 'Brave Riders' and 'Sonny Elephant' and dreaming about adventure.

    This book is as charming and delightful as the author's first. It is a truly magical journey for Meromi as she learns more about the ways of the jungle and her place in the Yanomami community. The "Amazon Rainforest Magic" series can take any young boy or girl right to the heart of the jungle in all its beauty and wonder.
