Wangari Y Los Arboles De La Paz

Growing up in a small village in Kenya,

Wangari is accustomed to being surrounded

by lush green lands. Wangari leaves Kenya,

and upon her return, is alarmed at the rapid

deforestation taking over her small village.

She begins planting trees and encourages

other women in her village to do the same.

This vivid account of the life of the 2004 Nobel

Peace Prize winner, Wangari Maathai who

dedicated her life to preserving the African

rainforest, is truly inspirational, and will show

children that one can lead by example and

that resiliency, heart, and perseverance

always prevail.
