The boy who grew a forest : the true story of Jadav Payeng / by Sophia M. Gholz ; illustrated by Kayla Harren.

Gholz, Sophia M., (author.). Harren, Kayla, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"As a boy, Jadav Payeng was distressed by the destruction deforestation and erosion was causing on his island home in India's Brahmaputra River. So he began planting trees. What began as a small thicket of bamboo, grew over the years into 1,300 acre forest filled with native plants and animals. The Boy Who Grew a Forest tells the inspiring true story of Payeng--and reminds us all of the difference a single person with a big idea can make."-- Publisher.
