" Wangari Maathai plants trees and gets in trouble. Born in 1940 in a village in Kenya, she is the daughter of an illiterate mother in a country where many, especially females, were not literate. But the world is changing and Wangari gets a golden opportunity to attend school -- it propels her into the future and we are all beneficiaries. This Nobel Prize winner has a story worth reading. I predict that you will remember her and feel inspired. "
