The Boy Who Grew a Forest
The True Story of Jadav Payeng
Ann Arbor, Michigan : Sleeping Bear Press, [2019]
Format: Book
Description: 1 volume (unpaged) : color illustrations ; 26 cm
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.
