The Big Field is the charming story of a girl who spends a year with her grandmother on a farm at the edge of the South American rainforest.  The child is from the city, but the time she spends with her grandmother teaches her about the seasons of the Southern Hemisphere and the beauty and transience of the rainforest--from plant, animal, and insect life to the cycles of nature.  This entertaining narrative is  environmentally sensitive in its approach.
