The Man Who Planted Trees

Description

Written by one of France’s greatest writers, this extraordinary illustrated fable is about a shepherd who plants 100 acorns a day for 30 years, transforming the countryside, revitalizing his community, and teaching us about hope, humanity and our own ability to create change in the world.

This book includes a forward by Dan Burkhardt, President of Magnificent Missouri, an organization dedicated to conserving the landscape corridor along the Katy Trail and Missouri River west of St. Louis. Afterwords include a piece by Warren County’s own Jason Marschel, who is on the board of Magnificent Missouri.
