All day, she plays beneath her favorite fig tree, and at night she gathers around the fire with her family to listen to her mother's stories.

People go hungry. After all her studies, Dr. Wangari Maathai realizes there is a simple solution to these problems: plant a forest full of trees."--Page [4] of cover.
