Description
Wangari was born in Kenya when the British still ruled there. Over her lifetime, she exceeded expectations left and right. In a time when women were uneducated and thought inferior to men, she made her voice heard regarding deforestation by enlisting and empowering other women to plant trees. Her indomitable spirit was rewarded with a spot in parliament where she can make lasting change - in addition to her legacy of forest and wildlife. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004. Wangari celebrated the award by planting a tree. There is a lot of information in this book. I was riveted! Written by Franck Prevot, illustrated by Aurelia Fronty, sc, 40pp. ~Sara
