Wangari's Trees of Peace: A True Story from Africa

32 pp. | Harcourt | September, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-15-206545-4 $17.00
(3) K-3 This picture book biography celebrates Wangari Maathai, Nobel Prize–winning environmentalist and founder of Kenya's Green Belt Movement. Winter's lyrical main text gives readers a sense of the woman ("Wangari lives under an umbrella of green trees..."); an appended author's note is more factual. The accompanying brightly patterned and cleanly composed acrylic illustrations beautifully display Maathai's spirit and determination.
