As he does, he can't help but compare his own life. When you visit the rainforest, you should ask the Sápara peoples for permission and be respectful, just like when you visit your neighbor in the city. Smoked fish is delicious in the rainforest--but hard to make in your bedroom. The rainforest is like a great big house for plants, animals, and spirits, but it's disappearing, little by little. Filling his journal with imaginative drawings and words, the boy decides what he would do if he visited the rainforest: Invite the spirits for donuts and hot cocoa!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspired by the author's volunteer efforts to assist the Sápara peoples in protecting an endangered bird, \u003cem\u003eWhen My Dad Went to the Jungle \u003c\/em\u003eportrays a young boy exploring big ideas about the natural world.
