Summary:

Have you ever wondered how we teach children about global warming with inspiration instead of fear? The Wizard Who Saved the World does just this, with clear science explained through an inspirational story. A young boy named Diego dreams of being a wizard so he can make the world a better place and stop the problems of global warming. When he realizes that he can't really perform magic, Diego begins to think of ways he can actually help save the world by considering many potential careers and what it would take to achieve them. At the end of this beautifully illustrated book, he is so inspired that when he sees his reflection in a mirror, it appears that he has become a wizard after all. Along the way, educationally designed "Big Kid Box" sidebars will help children and parents learn about the science that takes place behind the scenes of the pages. Parents and teachers can use the boxes and the end-of-book activities to create a family or classroom learning experience. The Wizard Who Saved the World has been read in English from the International Space Station by JAXA astronaut Koichi Wakata; the video is freely posted for anyone to watch at www.StoryTimeFromSpace.com.
