As a young girl growing up in Kenya, Wangari was surrounded by trees. But years later when she returns home, she is shocked to see whole forests being cut down, and she knows that soon all the trees will be destroyed. So Wangari decides to do something—and starts by planting nine seedlings in her own backyard. And as they grow, so do her plans. . . .
This true story of Wangari Maathai, environmentalist and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, is a shining example of how one woman's passion, vision, and determination inspired great change.

Wangari's Trees of Peace: A True Story from Africa
I am going to be fair to this book and not simply compare it to Planting the Trees of Kenya: The Story of Wangari Maathai, a book I read very recently for the Picture-Books Club at the Children's Books group. Both books are about the same extraordinary woman and the Greenbelt movement she started in Kenya over three decades ago. I thought the other book (story & illustrations) was better, but this one is very good too, and it has a few pieces of information that weren't included in the other book.
I'm glad that Wangari Maathai has inspired more than one picture book for children. She's an inspiring woman who has used her education, intelligence, and creativity to make Kenya, and the world, a better place.
