Synopsis

HERE, THERE AND EVERYWHERE tells the story of a wild parrot named Sreeeeeeeet who is trapped in the rainforest of New Guinea and later sold by a pet store in New York City to a little boy named Peter.

Together, the little boy and the little bird learn about the problems of keeping a parrot in captivity and what it means to separate a wild creature from its ecosystem.

The book both entertains and enlightens children to issues facing parrots in the wild and captivity and environmental problems like deforestation.

Following the story are a dozen educational pages about real parrots and how kids can help them.
