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!
