Dr. Wangari Maathai Plants a Forest

If your child loves the environment this is a wonderful read. 

Dr. Wangari's legacy is a great example of how taking care of the environment will have a lasting effect in the world. She was able to obtain a Doctorate, but she used her instincts when it came to solving problems. Because she fought to protect the Earth, her children and many others are able to have a better life today. 

This book points out how segregation was different between American and Kenya. While it did exist in Kenya, she was treated much worse in American. This did not stop her from pursing her education. 

Thank you NetGalley and Rebel Girls for the opportunity to read this book.
