111 Trees: How One Village Celebrates the Birth of Every Girl by Rina Singh
5.0
Thanks to Goodreads for allowing me to read an advance copy of this book! This one will definitely be on my must-buy list when it comes out.
Five stars for this wonderful TRUE story of how one man brought great change to his village in India by changing cultural norms and starting a new tradition of planting 111 trees for each girl born in the village. I learned the term "eco-feminism" through this marvelous nonfiction rendering. Gorgeous illustrations complement this rich story.
