Wangari grew up loving the nature around her in Kenya: from the mugumo trees to the river and the tadpoles that swam within it. Though many women in Kenya didn't receive an education, Wangari's family supported her curiosity and she was able to learn many wonderful things about the environment in science classes. Her studies took her far from home, but when she saw that her country's government was mistreating her beloved mugumos and river, she came back with a plan. Her ideas protected the ecosystem and promoted her countrywomen's rights at the same time, and they made her the first African woman and environmentalist to win the Nobel Peace Prize. The story of Maathai's dedication will empower all who love the beautiful things the natural world offers. This chapter-book edition includes black-and-white illustrations as well as sidebars on related subjects, a timeline, a glossary, and recommended reading. Perfect for readers looking to move from picture books to the next reading level.Check out the other titles in this series:LA HISTORIA DEL HÉROE DE LOS DERECHOS CIVILES JOHN LEWIS • LA HISTORIA DE LA ESTRELLA DE CINE ANNA MAY WONG
