"A must read book for everyone who want to live on earth. Through this book we could learn to build the world again if not anew, literally. Elzeard Bouffier was a tree planter. He had lost his only son, and then his wife. Since that day, he had live in solitude somewhere in France. Every single day he picked up the falling fruit for the seedling. Every single night he separated the good from the bad ones. In the daylight, he took the good seed and planted them. When the world wars happen, he keeps doing his job, uninterrupted. Gradually the barren land transformed into lives again. Brooks that had been dry now flowing with water. Even the air was changing. Little by little the abandon village had been rebuilt. But no one ever noticed those were because of one man effort. So let's do something about our earth. We might don't have many lands anymore nowadays but we sure can do something to protect our forests, especially in a country such as Indonesia. This book also supplemented with wood-wise consumer that gives paper-saving tips at home and at the office where most papers were used in daily basis."
"Brilliant - because I say so. Actually, it is good because it is never too late in your life to make a difference. It is about one man just doing 'his thing' with no regard to ownership or time. He has seen that his environment needs improving and just does it. I like the way it is written that it could plausibly be a true story."
"I read this book in the original French for one of my courses and thought it was fantastic. It's the story of a man who decides to spend his life planting trees and the impact that it ends up having on the world. There's also an animated film."
"this is a lovely story. I give this book to all of my friends when they move away. What would happen if we each took some time to plant a few little acorns? What is barren and dry could become a green living forest. And where ever you go you can always plant a new forest for some one else to enjoy."
