"The One Seed: Wangari Maathai's Story" By Nivola Claire A / Kunio Yanagida Price: ¥1400 This is a biographical picture book that tells the story of Wangari Maathai, an environmental activist from Kenya, Africa. Maathai spread the spirit of "Mottainai" (a sense of regret over waste) to the world, starting with planting a single seedling to protect the green earth. She eventually founded the "Green Belt Movement" and worked to protect the environment and improve the status of women. For her achievements, she became the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. The picture book gently conveys her journey from childhood to adulthood with beautiful illustrations, teaching the importance of living in harmony with nature and how small actions by individuals can lead to big changes. This book is a great opportunity for children and adults to deepen their interest in environmental issues and social activities. *** The back cover has some sun damage and stains. #ChibiKuma's Picture Books/Children's Books ≪Discounts available for multiple purchases≫ I hope to do business with those who understand that this is a used book stored at home.
