"The Boy Who Grew a Forest: The True Story of Jadav Payeng" by Kayla Harren tells the inspiring story of Jadav Payeng, a young boy from India who dedicated his life to planting trees and restoring a barren area of land. After witnessing the devastation of his beloved forest, Jadav resolved to take action by planting saplings on a sandbar in the river. Over the years, his dedication transformed the desolate landscape into a lush forest, providing a habitat for various wildlife. This poignant tale highlights the power of one individual's commitment to the environment and the impact one person can have on the world. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
