Mr. Sheppherd says he is speaking on behalf of the people of the Amazon Rain Forest because their extinction is coming. He lived among them and learned that there is knowledge in EVERYTHING. “That the appropriate use of knowledge is wisdom.” Much of this wisdom is captured in over 400 proverbs. Sheppherd says, as he holds the book, "Leaf of Honey and the Proverbs of the Rain Forest", that all that he wants you to know about the Amazon people is captured in this book.
