This is the inspiring story of Wangari Maathai, women's rights
activist and one of the first environmental warriors. Overcoming
great obstacles, Wangari began the Green Belt Movement in Kenya in
the 1960s, which focused on planting trees, environmental
conservation and women's rights. She inspired thousands across
Africa to plant 30 million trees in 30 years, saving many from
hunger and poverty. Her remarkable story of courage and
determination shows how just one person can change the world. The
story shows children how desertification works: how land is eroded
and degraded when trees aren't there to hold the soil in place so
it's not taken away by winds and heavy rain. It explains how all
living things are dependent on each other and if trees are taken
away, then you not only lessen the fertility of the soil, but you
lose the animals that live there and then the animals that rely on
those animals for food and so on. As well as explaining important
green issues, the book also talks about Wangari's fight for human
rights and shows how important it is to stand up for what you
believe. The gripping narrative non-fiction text by Gwendolyn
Hooks, winner of the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary
Work for Children, hooks readers from the start. Vibrant
illustrations from print-maker Margaux Carpentier, one of the
featured artists in Taschen's The Illustrator: 100 Best from around
the World, vividly evoke Wangari's amazing life story.The
consultant, Dr Jane Irungu, grew up in Kenya, but is now a
Professor at the University of Oklahoma. She was inspired by
Wangari when she was growing up and went on to get a PhD just as
Wangari did. 'Carpentier's saturated geometric illustrations
emphasize the bold impact of Maathai's actions', Publishers Weekly,
