Average rating4
It's monsoon season in Bangladesh, which means Iqbal's mother must cook the family's meals indoors, over an open fire. The smoke from the fire makes breathing difficult for his mother and baby sister, and it's even making them sick. Hearing them coughing at night worries Iqbal. So when he learns that his school's upcoming science fair has the theme of sustainability, Iqbal comes up with the perfect idea for his entry: he'll design a stove that doesn't produce smoke!

Iqbal needs to come up with a good idea for a science fair project, so he looks around his home and thinks of an idea that will help his mother during the monsoon season.
This book may inspire children to look for problems in their own home environments and to come up with economically-friendly solutions. It's also a glimpse inside a family's life in Bangladesh and it's a nice look at solving problems scientifically.
