Suriname
A small country reveals enormous forests and a richly multilingual capital, while Cappy learns that local names, local guidance, and careful observation matter.
Crossing into a country where rainforest seems to begin at the border, Cappy discovers wooden Paramaribo, neighbouring houses of worship, left-side traffic, multilingual greetings, turtle protection, giant water lilies, and a blue frog best admired from a distance. Friends along the way teach him that a familiar animal can have a new name and that knowing less is safest when it leads you to a good guide.
