This book is good for children at an intermediate level. It's about a boy named Jack Horner who wants to become a paleontologist despite having trouble reading things. He uses his skills to find different bones and fossils. I would introduce this book into my classroom when learning about fossils and dinosaurs!

This book is about a boy named Jadav Payeng who lives in India. Jadav noticed how deforestation was affecting his home, so he decided to start planting bambo trees. Jadav shows how one persons small effort can change the world. This is based on a true story.

Jack Horner suffers from severe dyslexia - reading text was almost impossible, BUT reading the outdoors, the rock formations, ... that was something he was very good at!

This forest grew and grew, and only the locals knew about it for almost 30 years!
