With the Right to Fight: Planting Peace by Anika Christopher

4.0

Planting Peace/ The Right to Fight is a children's book story of Wangari Maathai, the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. She was one of the first students selected out of Kenya to study in the US in the 50s and continued her education all the way up to PHD where she gained a doctorate in zoology/vet and was one of the first women in Kenya to receive a PHD and appointed to teach at higher education. Her story is great, and you don't hear a lot about her, so I'm happy to see this book to inspire young children to follow in her footsteps!
