5.0 out of 5 stars Healling The Desert, June 1, 2001

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Acting for Nature: What Young People Around the World Have Done to Protect the Environment (Paperback)

This story is about a girl named Aisha, that trys to save the desert. Aisha lives in the Sahara Desert. Aisha learns about the animals in the desert a young age. She teaches the people in her town about the desert, and how to respect the animals that live their. She soon got a job helping the animals get new land to live on. Also she helped making perserves for the Ibecs. The Ibecs are tall, white, hooved, and almost extincted. When I was reading this part of the story, I imagined Lamma like creatures at a perserve. Aisha once helped prevent a flood in the Ibec's perserve, by helping to build a sandbag dam. Aisha counts cranes that fly through the Sahara. This story is extremly interesting. If I met Aisha I would ask her many questions. One might be, "How do you enjoy helping the animals in the desert?" I think it is excellent to be helping the enviroment at an early age because you will probably continue helping the animals for the rest of your life. If you did a book report on this story you would most definently get an A.

This is a great book, which should be in every elementary/middle school library. It gives bios of ordinary kids who through extraordinary effort started a project to save the environment.
