Books with title Rainforests

The animal and bird people from the Rainforest were upset. A group of young human people from the nearby town had entered their rainforest home and had been throwing sticks and stones at the residents.After meeting with their leader who they called The Captain (Cassowary) they decided to seek the assistance of a tribal elder from the local aboriginal Mission; whose people had taken the Cassowary and Brolga as their tribal tokens.The old and wise one, as he was known, located a group of the young human people and took them to the rainforest. He explained and demonstrated to them the need not to disturb the people from the rainforest. Over time both the animal and bird people and the human people came to acknowledge and respect each other and their environments.
