What Parents Should Know

The book is entirely secular and scientific. It avoids the 'climate doom' narrative often found in environmental books, focusing instead on the mechanical and physical solutions available to us. The approach is direct and educational.
Ideal Reader
An inquisitive 6-year-old who loves 'how things work' videos or a child who has just noticed solar panels on a neighbor's roof and wants to understand the 'magic' behind them.
