I enjoyed reading this book about Dr. Maathai, a Kenyan biologist and environmentalist who made great strides in protecting Kenya's environment and natural resources. Her story was well-told but clearly for older children; a divorce was skimmed over and references to being violently oppressed by the government were stated in a very minimal way. As an adult, it left me with more questions to research. I'm eager to share this with my kid when she's old enough, though. I received an eARC from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
"Wangari lives in the lush, green, land of rural Kenya where the soil is perfect for planting, the trees tower into the sky, and the streams are full of mysterious creatures. All day, she plays beneath her favorite fig tree, and at night she gathers around the fire with her family to listen to her mother's stories. Then Wangari grows up and goes away to school, and things start changing at home. Farmers chop down the trees. Landslides bury the stream. The soil becomes overworked and dry, and nothing will grow. People go hungry. After all her studies, Dr. Wangari Maathai realizes there is a simple solution to these problems: plant a forest full of trees."--Page [4] of cover.

The illustrations by Eugenia Mello are beautiful, delightful, imaginative, and colorful.
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, but especially to a school or public library!
I requested and received a free temporary e-book on Adobe Digital Editions from Rebel Girls via NetGalley. Thank you! ( )
