A continuation of Wangari's story

Today we read another book about Wangari Maathai.  The name of the book was, Seeds of Change.  This is a true story about an African women who inspired change and helped her community, the land, and the rights of women.  When Wangari was faced with obstacles she never gave up hope.  

Here are some quotes from Wangari, that we found inspiring....

"A canopy of hope will reach the sky." 

"Young people, you are our hope and future."

"Those  trees you are cutting down today, were not planted by you, but by those who came before."

"You must plant trees that will benefit the community to come."

We are going to learn more about Wangari Maathai. We give this book 12 out of 5 stars because we loved it so much!
