The Man Who Planted Trees by Jean Giono

3.0

---

A very short story told in a slow, calm, quiet manner about a slow, calm, and quiet man who, all on his own, changes the face of the earth by going out every day and planting trees. He knew it was right. He knew it was necessary. And his slow, calm, and quiet legacy would be the bringing back of water to dry areas, the rejuvenation of dying towns, and the return of meaning to the lives of the people in them. That's it.
