Book Reviews of Wangari's Trees of Peace: A True Story from Africa
Book Review: Environmental responsibility
Summary: 5 Stars
Since this is based on a true story, it is a great way to introduce children to environmental responsibility, as a matter of social justice. Even though women in African cultures are confined to certain roles, Wangari convinces women that they can make a difference in their culture. Wangari teaches them that by planting the seeds that will grow into trees and re-covering their land in green forestation, they are planting seeds of hope in their communities.
