## Storybooks

- [Baraka and the Warm Blanket](https://dunia-endelevu.vercel.app/story-baraka.html): Climate change, ages 6 to 10. It’s getting hotter on Shosho’s farm, and Baraka wants to know why. Kinyonga, a chameleon who turns orange when he’s too hot, takes him high above the clouds to see the warm blanket of air around our Earth, and what we can do to keep it just right.
- [Kobe and the Web of Life](https://dunia-endelevu.vercel.app/story-kobe.html): Biodiversity, ages 6 to 10. There are no bees in the school garden, and Amani wants to know why. Kobe, a wise old leopard tortoise, shows her and Otieno the glowing web that joins every living thing, then flies them over Kenya’s wild places to see why each thread matters.
- [Is It Fair, Babu?](https://dunia-endelevu.vercel.app/story-babu.html): Climate justice, ages 6 to 10. When another class uses up all the water in the school tank, Wanjiru cries, “That is just not fair!” Her grandfather Babu helps her see that the air around our Earth is shared in the same way, and why climate change hurts most the people who did least to cause it.
- [The Little Steps Club](https://dunia-endelevu.vercel.app/story-little-steps.html): Climate action, ages 6 to 10. Kip thinks children are too small to do anything about something as big as climate change. Leila points to a weaver bird building its nest one blade of grass at a time, and starts a club to show how little steps add up to something huge.
- [Imani and the River Promise](https://dunia-endelevu.vercel.app/story-imani.html): Environmental rights, ages 6 to 10. Plastic is choking the river on the way to school, and Imani and her cousin Juma want to know who can fix it. Auntie Halima shows them that a clean, healthy environment is every child’s right, and that rights come with duties too.
