Wangari Maathai: The Woman Who Planted MIllions of Trees

Written by Franck Prevot, Illustrated by Aurelia Fronty

Wangari Maathai was a very brave woman, in a world in which women didn’t normally have a voice. She did, she fought for trees and women and children’s rights. It was a very interesting story to read. I enjoyed reading this bit of history and learning the power of this woman.
