The Man Who Planted Trees - Giono, Back, McCurdy

JEAN GIONO

L'homme qui plantait des Arbres 

You can read this book in English, The Man Who Planted Trees. It's the sort of book you can read easily and finish in one sitting, say, during a commute home on the train.   

There's a 1987 Canadian short animated film of the story, directed by Frédéric Back. From his web site: Back's  Bio, Filmography, Illustrations, Back's KidZone Bio, Museum & Research, As Activist, Caring Together Activity Kits
