Wangari's Trees of Peace

The second book we will be commenting on is a great book about a great woman. It is a true story based on the life of Wangari Maathai who is an African environmentalist and winner of a Nobel Peace Prize. It is an example of how one person's passion and determination can inspire great change.

The Day the Animals Lost Their True Colors

The first book we will review comes from the mind of Louisville artist Dan Rhema.
