Book summary

Jean Gionos unforgettable story is of Elzéard Bouffier, a tireless shepherd who plants one hundred acorns a day over a span of thirty years. In doing so, Bouffier not only transforms the countryside, but revitalizes his community and teaches us about hope, humanity, and our own ability to create change in the world around us.

This timeless classic has sold over a quarter of a million copies and inspired countless numbers of people around the world to take action and plant trees. On National Arbor Day, April 29, 2005, Chelsea Green is releasing a special twentieth anniversary edition with a new foreword by Wangari Maathai, winner of the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize and a new afterword by Andy Lipkis, founder of the Los Angeles based TreePeople.
