I received an electronic ARC from PENGUIN GROUP Penguin Young Readers Group through NetGalley.
Part of the She Persisted biography series. Odhiambo brings readers into Maathai's life from birth through her challenges to make a difference to her death, and the way her life's work still echoes today. Readers see her strength and commitment to caring for the environment in her home country, Kenya, and beyond. The author's writing style lets readers feel they are planting, protesting and dreaming beside Wangari. A definite addition to elementary libraries.
