A picture book biography of scientist Wangari Maathai, the first African woman--and first environmentalist--to win a Nobel Peace Prize (in 2004) for her work planting trees in her native Kenya.As a young girl in Kenya, Wangari was taught to respect nature. There, her mind sprouted like a seed. She grew up loving the land, plants, and animals that surrounded her-from the giant mugumo trees her people, the Kikuyu, revered to the tiny tadpoles that swam in the river.Although most Kenyan girls were not educated, Wangari, curious and hardworking, was allowed to go to school.
After returning home, Wangari blazed a trail across Kenya, using her knowledge and compassion to promote the rights of her countrywomen and to help save the land, one tree at a time.Seeds of Change: Planting a Path to Peace She excelled at science and went on to study in the United States.
