Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A gorgeously illustrated picture book biography about Brazilian photojournalist, humanitarian, and environmental advocate Sebastião Salgado.
As a young boy, Sebastião Salgado loved exploring his parents' farm in the forests of Brazil, always dreaming of what might lie beyond his view. When he went away to school, he met Lélia, who showed him how to use a camera. As he looked through the lens, Sebastião realized he could use photography to capture how the world fits together.
Sebastião used his pictures to tell the stories of people who might not otherwise be seen. But after witnessing too much destruction, he put away his camera and returned to his childhood home. The land was in ruins.
So Sebastião and Lélia decided to rebuild the rainforest and photograph the beauty of the world to save it. Through art and activism, they would show that everyone was responsible for caring for the planet and that hope endures if we take action.

"Sebastião adored exploring the paradise of his parents' farm in the Mata Atlântica forest of Brazil. From atop a hill, he would look at the world from a new perspective and dream of what might lie beyond his view. Then, when he went away to school, Sebastião met Lélia, who showed him how to use a camera for the very first time. When Sebastião looked through the camera, he realized he could use photography to organize how the world fit together. Because of his talent for seeing what others could not, Sebastião traveled the world and took pictures for all kinds of news stories. But after witnessing too many painful images of environmental destruction and violence, he put away his camera and returned with Lélia to his childhood home. But, when they arrived at the farm, the land was in ruins. So Lélia suggested they rebuild the rain forest and make their efforts an example to others. Through art and activism, Sebastião and Lélia would show that everyone was connected to a large ecosystem and responsible for its care, and that all may not be lost if we take action"-- Provided by publisher.
