Books in Let's Discover Series series

An exciting journey deep into the tropical rainforest of Brazil, this book introduces young readers to the Yanomami, a tribe of Aboriginal People who have lived in the rainforest for hundreds of years. Kids learn about the unique environments of the rainforest with its colorful flora and fauna; the modern threats to the rainforest from ranching, mining, and agricultural operations; and how they can become involved in conservation plans to save the rainforest. The tropical rainforests in West Africa and Southeast Asia are also discussed.

Fern is on the verge of turning fifteen, a significant milestone in her life as a young Baha'i. In Fern's Faith, the age of fifteen represents the age of spiritual maturity — a time when she will leave childhood behind and take responsibility for the progress of her own spiritual existence. As she ponders the significance of her upcoming birthday, she engages her friends and family members in a series of deep and meaningful conversations. Much of their time is spent reading and discussing passages from the Long Obligatory Prayer, one of three prayers that every Baha'i over the age of fifteen is required to choose from and recite daily. These discussions cause Fern to think deeply about the mysteries of existence as well as about her own life and future.

Discovering the Sea is the story of Fern, a sixteen-year-old girl, who is home for the summer after completing her first year of boarding school, and intent on exploring the concept of the Covenant of God. Through discussions with friends and family members, Fern learns about the Baha'i concept of the Covenant as an agreement between God and mankind in which God promises never to leave us alone without guidance. Fern discusses the religions of the past, and the ways in which disunity seemed to arise among their followers after the passing of the Prophets and Founders of the religions. With the help of her family members and friends, Fern studies the wills of Baha'u'llah, the Prophet and Founder of the Baha'i Faith, and 'Abdu'l-Baha, the eldest son and appointed successor of Baha'u'llah, and comes to appreciate the unique and significant Covenant made between Baha'u'llah and His followers.
