Planet Protectors: Stories of Green Heroes by Bahar Dutt

3.0

A wonderful idea - to share stories about various environmentalists with young people. Most of the stories are quite inspiring! Indeed, my favorite one is the catchy poem about the compostwali, Poonam Bir Kasturi. But the book's writing is a bit uneven. If it consisted entirely of these fun, memorable poems throughout that would be lovely. Unfortunately sometimes it is prose and sometimes a poem, sometimes a simple glossing over of what the environmentalist has done and sometimes more depth.
