The Boy Who Grew a Forest by Gholz S

The Boy Who Grew a Forest by Gholz S

Recipient of the 2019 Eureka Honors Award

As a boy, Jadav Payeng was distressed by the destruction deforestation and erosion was causing on his island home in India's Brahmaputra River. So he began planting trees. What began as a small thicket of bamboo, grew over the years into 1,300 acre forest filled with native plants and animals. The Boy Who Grew a Forest tells the inspiring true story of Payeng--and reminds us all of the difference a single person with a big idea can make.

Bob Ross--artist, painting instructor, and television personality--has for decades charmed and inspired the world with his matchless look, signature style, and words of wisdom and encouragement.
