Wangari Maathai
“The generation that destroys the environment is not the generation that pays the price. That is the problem.”
Wangari Maathai

“Every great story starts with a tiny idea brave enough to speak up.
”You don’t need fancy words to reach a child’s heart—just rhythm, wonder, and a little spark of truth.”“The best books don’t just entertain—they invite you to grow.”
Mark Morgan
