The Man Who Planted Trees by Jean Giono
The book tells the inspiring tale of a solitary shepherd who, through his unwavering commitment to reforest a desolate valley in the foothills of the Alps in Provence throughout the first half of the 20th century, transforms the landscape and, in turn, the lives of the people who come to inhabit the region. With great patience and persistence, he plants one hundred acorns a day for over thirty years, ultimately creating a lush forest that revitalizes the land and offers a powerful testament to the impact one person's efforts can have on the world around them.
