If that doesn't work I know of a great bookstore called Eight Cousins (http://www.eightcousins.com/). You can email them and they'll order and ship anything you like!Ink and Penhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04867668733240740046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-756638971486779169.post-34109759381848788462013-05-28T15:57:21.070-07:002013-05-28T15:57:21.070-07:00What a great field to be a part of, Michelle!

I am an <a href="https://www.arborcare.com/services/consulting-and-assessment" rel="nofollow">arborist in Edmonton</a> and I didn't even know all of this. We are thinking of doing some sort of Arbor Day celebration next year at our work and I so was just strolling around searching for a few ideas. This woman sounds amazing so I think we'll definitely do a spotlight on her as well as read these books. Thank you for posting about this.

I am embarrassed to say that I had not heard of Wangari before that. I really like reading different picture books about the same person, because each highlights a different aspect of the story.
