She Persisted: Wangari Maathai
~80
pages
Details the incredible life of Wangari Maatthai, a Kenyan native who dedicated her life to healing the land. Our favorite quotes, “She was confident that planting trees would heal the land” (p35). “Life for Kikuyu revolved around nature” (p4). And "the children were encouraged to play in the rain and hailstorms because it was believed that the rain would make them grow the way it made plants grow" (p13).
