While reading the book Education of Little Tree we were told that Forest Carter was a part of the KKK also known as the Klu Klux Klan. This is a group of racist that mainly target African Americans.

The Thunder Tree Many people who live in urban environments are fascinated about the wilderness through television‚ but never take a step outside to interact with the nature surrounding them. People who alienate themselves from nature‚ are unaware that the loss of direct contact is one of the greatest causes of ecological crisis.

the book Under the Persimmon Tree‚ by Suzanne Fisher Staples. In this realistic setting‚ Najmah‚ the main character‚ loses most of her family due to the brutality and imposition of the Taliban.
