As an adult, I love this book. Looking from a children's perspective, it might be tough to understand. If you have younger readers who are interested in topics of culture then this might be a good fit. I could even see this being a good book for cultural studies classes to look into. Planting trees for every daughter born is a very unique idea and is a great theme in this book. The pain and loss might be too much for young readers though. This book has some big topics in it. Despite the potential difficulty, I think it's a marvellous and beautiful story that needs to be told. It's important! I just think buyer beware - know your and your children's reading level before picking the book up. Overall, it's a great read to open your eyes to an interesting cultural practice. Three out of five stars. Thank you to NetGalley and Kids Can Press for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review. This is a good book for learning about activism. This is about equality for girls and also environmental protection. It is a true story about a man from India, Sundar, who refuses to work for a mining company that is destroying his village. Then after his daughter dies, he comes up with a plan that will help his community and the people that live there. There are more facts at the end of the book and a list of organizations that are working to advance the ideas that Sundar believed in. 111 Trees is an inspiring true story about Sundar Paliwal whose forward-thinking changed his village forever. Paliwal valued nature and gender equality, but his village only celebrated the birth of boys. He resigned from his job in the environment destroying mine and became the village leader. Sundar persuaded the villagers to celebrate the birth of girls by planting 111 trees. Over time, these trees provided food, water and the opportunity for women to earn their own living. Find more information at the end about Paliwal and the village of Piplantri. You can use 111 Tress to promote environmental awareness, sustainability, gender equality, social development, community responsibility and cooperation. näyttää 5/5 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

"A boy grows up to bring positive change to his village in India. This story is true, and it started with a boy named Sundar. After the deaths of his mother, and later his daughter, Sundar Paliwal knows what he has to do. He is determined to live in a place where girls and boys are treated equally and where the surrounding countryside is not ravaged by irresponsible mining. And so he comes up with a plan. In rural India, where many people cling to age-old customs and gender inequality and discrimination are encouraged, Sundar manages to convince the people of his village to welcome every girl born with the planting of 111 trees. His efforts have turned a desert village into a green oasis that is safe and prosperous for girls. And his heroic actions confirm that the ability to impact our communities in a positive way is not beyond anyone's reach."-- Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
