| Brief Description: | The story of Jean-Pierre and his friend the tree can be told everywhere the importance of planting trees is recognized. Thanks to the advice of the agronomist in the region, Jean-Pierre learned why, when, how and what to plant. Young students and new adult readers will be entertained by this upbeat, little story, while their teachers will find lots of material, drawn from a rural Haitian setting, to talk about the ecological role of trees, peasant gardening, agricul-tural extension and potentially effective local solutions to the problem of deforestation. |
