by Donna Jo Napoli
Brilliant illustrations are the best part of this picture-book biography of Wangari Maathai, the Kenyan environmental activist who received the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize. In succinct, poetic lines that have a fable tone, Donna Jo Napoli describes how "wise Wangari" helped Kenyan village women solve problems by simply planting a tree. Eventually, Maathai's Green Belt movement became a worldwide mission.
