«El hombre que plantaba árboles» is the short story by Jean Giono, published by Santillana USA Pub Co Inc in paperback (56 pages, in Spanish).
A solitary shepherd named Elzeard Bouffier plants a hundred acorns every day for about thirty years in an arid region of Provence. His perseverance and anonymous work transform the landscape: the land is repopulated with trees and life returns with the birds, the water and the vegetation.
Originally published in French in 1953 as «L'homme qui plantait des arbres». This Spanish edition includes illustrations by Willi Glasauer and a translation by Eloy Fuente Herrero.
Recommended for child and young adult readers; the cover recommends it for ages 8 and up.
