|  | The Man Who Planted Trees by Aline Giono, Frederic Back, Harry Brockway, Jean Giono, Jean Roberts
Simply written, but powerful and unforgettable, The Man Who Planted Trees is a parable for modern times. In the foothills of the French Alps the narrator meets a shepherd who has quietly taken on the task of planting 100 acorns a day in an effort to reforest his desolate region. Not even two world wars can keep the shepherd from continuing his solitary work. Gradually, this gentle, persistent man's work comes to fruition: the region is transformed; life and hope return; the world is renewed. AUTHOR: Aline Giono, Frederic Back, Harry Brockway, Jean Giono, Jean Roberts
