At the Warbler’s request Lily goes on a mission to find seven climate heroes who have solutions that could collectively solve climate change. Clues to the identities of the heroes are hidden in this beautifully illustrated APP.

The Solutionaries were chosen from a list of over 100 individuals nominated by leading environmentalists, the seven Solutionaries identities will remain a mystery until the children discover them.

Recommended for children 7-12 years old. This entertaining educational experience employs the SOLE method pioneered by Dr. Sugata Mitra, 2013 TED Prize winner, who uses Big Questions to have children explore, share and open their minds to a world of wonder.

This is both an educational and entertaining storybook app.
