librarybonanza 's review for:
Wangari Maathai: The Woman Who Planted Millions of Trees
by Franck Prévot
Age: 2nd-5th grade
Loaction: Kenya, Africa
Nonfiction: Biography
An excellent read-aloud choice for middle elementary-intermediate classrooms that would pair well with extension activities on activism, feminism, environmental protection, and African empowerment. That being said, I wish the illustrations were more suited for reading aloud but most of the illustrations are a bit too intricate and not quite as eye-catching for a classroom. The supplementary material provides a timeline, photographs, a map of Africa and its different climates and vegetation, a brief bio of Kenya, a brief blurb on deforestation, and direct quotes from Wangari.
