Enter the mysterious world of The Jaguar Stones books, where ancient temples come alive and danger lurks around every corner. It’s a place filled with history, mythology and the wonders of nature, where every day is a battle for survival.

With J&P Voelkel as your guides, you’ll experience some of the sights, sounds and tastes of the Central American rainforest. You’ll also meet the guardians of this forest - the Maya, past and present - and find out why so much about them remains unknown.

You’ll also go behind the scenes of the Jaguar Stones, as the Voelkels share some of their experiences in researching, writing and illustrating the series.  

This 30-minute pre-recorded visit captures the fact-packed fun of the Voelkels’ in-person school visits and is FREE to schools using the Jaguar Stones books as a class text.

It was great fun to watch and fascinating. You have certainly captured my imagination about the Maya civilization and I am sure the children will love the video too, especially the story of the Hero twins; the animals of the rainforest, particularly the howler monkeys and you bravely eating various insects!
