Translation of: Wangari Maathai, la femme qui plantait des millions d'arbres (Voisins-le-Bretonneux, France : Éditions Rue du monde, 2012).
Includes bibliographical references (page 45).
Compared with other books for young readers about Kenyan environmental leader Wangari Maathai, this has more detail about how colonial rule and racism influenced Maathai's story, as well as the power of education in her life. (Miller Library Staff)
Wangari Maathai received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004 for her efforts to lead women in a nonviolent struggle to bring peace and democracy to Africa through its reforestation. Her organization planted over thirty million trees in thirty years. This beautiful picture book tells the story of an amazing woman and an inspiring idea.--
Recommended for preschool (age 0-5) and primary school (age 6-12).
