Aani and the Tree Huggers

---

Inspired by a true story from the 1970s in Northern India, this historical fiction picture book follows a young girl named Aani. When woodcutters arrive from the city to fell the ancient forest that her village depends on for food, fuel, and shelter, Aani leads the village women in a courageous act of non-violent resistance. By physically hugging the trees, they protect their environment from destruction. The story serves as a powerful introduction to the Chipko Movement and explores themes of environmental activism, bravery, and the deep connection between indigenous communities and nature.
