Iqbal and His Ingenious Idea

2018

by Elizabeth Suneby and Rebecca Green

It’s monsoon season in Bangladesh, and that means Iqbal’s mother must cook indoors over an open flame, even though the smoke is making her and the family sick. When Iqbal learns about the district science fair, with the theme of sustainability, he is determined to win first prize. With the cash reward, he can buy a pipe stove that draws smoke out of the house. Then Iqbal is struck with an ingenious idea! For his science fair project, he will build a cook stove that doesn’t produce smoke. He researches solar cookers and finds the winning design – one that harnesses the sun’s energy and do away with those harmful fumes. But the competition at the science fair is fierce – will Iqbal bring home the prize? Award-winning author Elizabeth Suneby offers a child-centered look at a global health problem that affects more than three billion people. |cProvided by publisher
