Take a moment to ponder and think of environmental heroes in early learning and reading. In a world where young adults such as Greta Thurnberg are on the front line of taking action to conserve the environment, more conservation action is needed from educators, parents and students.

A Tiny Seed, The Story of Wangari Maathai is a well thought off  conservation and leadership book meant for early child development with an emphasis on the need to plant more trees and to conserve nature at its best.

Authored by Nicola Rijsdijk and Maya Marshak, A Tiny Seed also tells the story of Nobel Laurette Wangari Maathai’s early education in the then African traditional society where children especially girls were not encouraged to go to school.

Narrated to children in school and at home, A Tiny Seed, the Story of Wangari Maathai brings out the heroes in conservation, a parent, an educator and a student in ensuring environmental warriors in the 21 Century have a hero to look up to.
