As a boy, Jadav Payeng began planting trees on a sandbank in the state of Assam. Nobody believed that he would succeed. But since 1979, a forest the size of Central Park has emerged, offering a home to countless animals, including elephants, and plants. One small act… one great impact. It was not until 2007 that a photographer accidentally discovered the forest and made Payeng known to the world beyond India.
Indian artists Rina Singh and Ishita Jain have sensitively retraced the story of young Jadav. Readers feel immersed in the spectacular habitat whose existence borders on a miracle come true. This picture book contains full spread illustrations and additional back matter.
