It’s monsoon season in Bangladesh and the rain seems endless. When young Iqbal sees his family get sick
from the smoke of their indoor stove, he is determined to find a solution. Building his own solar-powered
stove as a science project, he helps his family while championing sustainable technology. One of Kids
Can Press’s CitizenKid series, Iqbal and His Ingenious Idea is sure to not only encourage creativity but
also the understanding that—regardless of age—we all have the power to make a difference in our
community. Elizabeth Suneby celebrates love of family, perseverance, religious traditions and
stewardship of the environment in this colourful picture presentation.
