I just need to say Sundar Sir, you have my utmost respect.
I have to admit that the first reason I download 111 Trees is because of the publisher. I love Kids Can Press so much, and I may just added their newest books that are out on her to my shelf.

111 Trees is one of the loveliest books I have read in a long time. It’s a story about a man name Sundar, who fights for gender equality and healthy environment.

The case of gender equality in most Asian countries are still exist. In this book, you’ll read a little introduction how it is like in India. But as a girl who was born in Indonesia, I’m lucky because my parents always loves me and never seen me less even though I was born a girl. But for my grandma. having a baby boy is a must. You gotta have a baby boy in a family, because he is the one who’s gonna continue the family lineage and you’d be seen more honourable with having a baby boy in a family. But girl, what would girls do? Staying home, caring for the baby kind of job. And when the girl is married, she will be taken away from home.
This story hit home. It make me feel seen and accepted. I didn’t know that it would touched me so deeply.

But, I think this is one of the books that every library in the world need a copy. I mean it. It’s so educational, yet touching and important.

Sundar’s parents raised him well. It’s so beautiful to see a man he became. We need more Mr. Sundar in this world.

Thank you Kids Can Press for publish yet another wonderful, wonderful book.
