And she hoped to bring education to all the girls and boys of her village.Would her dreams ever come true?Illustrated with Jan Spivey Gilchrist’s graceful watercolors, Dr. Tererai Trent’s true story of perseverance is sure to inspire readers of all ages.Trade ReviewPRAISE FOR THE GIRL WHO BURIED HER DREAMS IN A CAN:"Like Malala Yousafzai's story, this picture book can lead to conversations about education around the world and the connections between literacy and freedom." —Los Angeles Times"Watercolor illustrations and compelling language and imagery round out this inspiring story." —School Library Connection, starred review!"An inspirational look at one woman’s journey from ambition and vision to the reality of schooling and schools." —Kirkus Reviews"Lyrically described...A wonderful selection for discussing the importance of education." —School Library Journal"Moving...The inspiring story of how one person can overcome difficulties and make a difference." —Booklist
