Rezension(2): "〈a href=http://www.kirkusreviews.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/kirkus_logo.png alt=Kirkus border=0 /〉〈/a〉: September 15, 2020 Haunted by the untimely deaths of his mother and daughter, an Indian man named Sundar grows up to become an activist dedicated to advancing gender equity and environmental justice in his home state of Rajasthan. After he gets married, Sundar works in a marble quarry owned by men who unapologetically wreak ecological havoc on the land. Disgusted by these practices, Sundar quits his job and runs for the position of head of his village, a title known as the sarpanch, and wins. His joy is short-lived: A year after his victory, his oldest daughter dies. As he mourns, he notices how little female children are valued in his village. He then hatches a plan to honor his daughter's memory, change attitudes about gender, and combat the deforestation that has been devastating the local land. Every time a girl is born in the village, Sundar decides that the people will plant 111 trees in her honor. Sundar's idea fundamentally affects his hometown in deeply positive ways. Including endnotes about Rajasthan, gender equity, and eco-feminism, this earnest, inspiring book forthrightly discusses everything from environmental exploitation to female feticide in language suitable for young readers. Although many readers will give a side-eye when Sundar tells the villagers that in developed countries girls and boys are treated equally, overall, this is an uplifting story about the power of personal action. (This book was reviewed digitally with 10.4-by-19-inch double-page spreads viewed at 41.1% of actual size.) An inspiring picture book about eco-feminism in action in the global south.

The notion of planting 111 trees for every baby girl born in his village came to him after a lifetime of struggle and personal tragedy, and this beautiful, poignant book tells of his path from boyhood to village head. Growing up in his Indian village, Sundar cherished time alone with his mother, even when it meant walking miles in the blistering heat to fetch water. As an adult, he taught his children to love and respect nature. And as a worker in the marble mines, he stood his ground when he witnessed the damage being done to the land. Sundar dreamt of planting trees on the ravaged land and, to honor his daughter, ordered the villagers to come around to the idea of planting trees when girls are born. Illustrated in bright, crisp earth tones and textured-leaf motifs, 111 Trees is the true story of radical ideas coming to fruition through collaboration, persistence, and gradual change, an homage to trees, girls, and a planet that is sure to return the favor when we care for it. Can be paired with Sophia Gholz's The Boy Who Grew a Forest (2019).(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2020, American Library Association.)

The initiative was started in 2006 by the village head, Shyam Sundar Paliwal. Singh's story, written in conjunction with Paliwal, describes his life in the village-of walking with his mother to fetch water and growing up to work in a marble mine that was harming the land. After his young daughter died, Paliwal planted trees in her honor and got the idea to plant trees for all the daughters born in the village to honor them and help the land. Back matter explains more about gender inequality, Paliwal's life, and the initiative, which also includes setting aside money for the girls to use when they turn 18. Ferrer's watercolor, gouache, and graphite illustrations show women and girls wearing brightly colored clothing (many also have headscarves) on a barren landscape that fills with green as the trees grow. VERDICT This engaging story serves as a compelling introduction to the concept of eco-feminism and will be great in classrooms for sparking larger conversations.- Jennifer Rothschild, Arlington County Public Libraries, VACopyright 2020 School Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.

Uniform Title: The Forest Keeper

Content: Was kann eine einzelne Person angesichts der weltweiten Umweltzerstörung ausrichten? Der Inder Jadav Payeng hat bewiesen, dass jeder einzelne von uns Wunder bewirken kann. Ganz allein hat er auf der Flussinsel Majuli einen Wald gepflanzt, der unzähligen Tieren und Pflanzen eine Heimat bietet. Dieses Buch erzählt seine Geschichte für Kinder. Was kann eine einzelne Person angesichts der weltweiten Umweltzerstörung schon ausrichten? Der Inder Jadav Payeng hat bewiesen, dass jeder Einzelne von uns eine ganze Menge bewirken kann. Als Junge begann er, auf einer Sandbank im Bundesstaat Assam Bäume zu pflanzen. Niemand glaubte, dass er damit Erfolg haben würde. Doch seit 1979 ist so ein Wald von der Fläche des Central Park entstanden, der unzähligen Tieren und Pflanzen eine Heimat bietet. Erst 2007 entdeckte ein Fotograf den Wald zufällig und machte Payeng über Indien hinaus bekannt. Rina Singh hat die Geschichte des Jungen Jadav einfühlsam nacherzählt. Ishita Jain entdeckten wir auf der Illustrators Wall der Kinderbuchmesse in Bologna. Ihr Stil erschien uns für die wuchernde Vegetation in der Geschichte ideal. In ihrem Bilderbuch-Debüt lässt sie uns nun in einen spektakulären Lebensraum eintauchen, dessen Existenz an ein wahr gewordenes Wunder grenzt. (lehmanns.de)
