With the Right to Fight: Planting Peace by Anika Christopher
5.0
What a beautifully illustrated nonfiction book!
The book beautifully illustrates the story of Wangari Muri Maathai from childhood to adulthood, where we go from Kenya to the USA, then back back again. Themes include the importance of nature, education, resourcefulness, imagination, community, ingenuity, and female empowerment.
I’m such a fan of the art style and the composition of the book. It flows, reads, and illustrates the story’s beautifully.
I think that this book should be read in as many classrooms as possible! I wish I learned Wangari Muri Maathai’s story and her amazing Novel Peace Prize achievement much earlier. This is an inspirational and informative book perfect for young readers (and adults, too!)
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an eGalley of this book in exchange for an honest review.
