The Man Who Planted Trees

By Jean Giono
Level 7
Review:

This short fable (53 pages) tells the story of a man who spent his life planting one hundred acorns every day in a barren land in France. This touching and inspiring story contains skilled writing and wonderful messages. I really enjoyed the book.
