This empowering and enchanting picture book tells the powerful story of Kenyan climate activist Elizabeth Wathuti's lifelong work to protect her homeland from the devastating effects of deforestation - and the story takes us back in time to see a little seven-year-old girl plant her first tree. Featuring peek-through pages and vibrant artwork, this is a gentle and moving introduction to the importance of protecting the environment for young readers.
Let the beauty of nature move you - and the activism amaze you!
