摘要

The earth was naked. For me the mission was to try to cover it with green." These words begin a new picture book about the woman who wrote them, Nobel laureate, environmentalist and human rights activist Wangari Maathai. Wangari's Trees of Peace: A True Story from Africa (Harcourt, $17, ages 3 to 8) tells the story of Maathai's efforts to reforest Kenya and empower Kenyan women. Award-winning writer and illustrator Jeanette Winter's clear text and bold paintings (right) make it easy to imagine the story of Maathai and the women of the Green Belt Movement she started. These women's efforts in the face of development insensitive to the land, and as part of a population in need of food, firewood and water, are also brought to life in Planting the Trees of Kenya: The Story of Wangari Maathai, by Claire A. Nivola (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, $16.95, ages 5 to 10). There's plenty to discover in the intricate pen-and-watercolor illustrations; the text is more detailed and will engage older children. Nivola's book is especially good at showing the hard work of the movement-replanting when seedlings died, digging deep holes to find water for the trees.

Nivola)(法拉尔,斯特劳斯和吉鲁,16.95美元,年龄5至10)。在错综复杂的水彩笔插图中可以找到很多东西;文字更加详细,并且会吸引年龄较大的孩子。尼沃拉的书特别擅长表现出幼苗枯死时移动补种的辛勤工作,挖深洞为树木找水。
