A powerful lesson in the rewards of nurturing nature together. (Picture book. 5-9) - Kirkus Reviews
Baori lives in a village in the Maowusu Desert. Very little grows there, and so young people often move away. When Baori hears that the land wasn’t always this dry and that there used to be lots of trees and plants, she wants to do something: she wants to make the desert smaller and the green land bigger. She convinces her neighbors to work together . . .
An inspiring story based on true events about persevering and living in nature. For children ages 5 years and up.

My Review:
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Five Stars
Beautiful story of Baori's resilience and how she built greenery in a desert land. The story has neat illustrations and teaches the importance of the environment, the value of not giving up and celebrating small wins as Boari succeeds in building more greenery where there were deserts all around.
The book teaches patience, a lot about nature, and also about the little things that happen when we refuse to let a dream die.
Thank you for the eARC Netgalley.
