The Tree Lady by H. Joseph Hopkins illustrated by Jill McElmurry*

"The True Story of How One Tree-loving Woman Changed a City Forever"
What an amazing story of Kate Sessions.  The biography begins when she was a young girl who was interested in science and the outdoors during a time when girls were not suppose to be pursuing those types of interest.  Then it shares how she used her interest to transform the arid city of San Diego.
Inspiring!
Highly recommend.
Wonderful illustrations.
Author's note shares more details about her life and how much she influence others.
