The
reason
I
said:
welcome
you
back
the
Chelsea
bus.
We
met
Tony,
Lewis,
Latimer
society,
Science
Festival,
and
you
were
there
to
share
what
off
your
book
and
I
wanted
to
invite
you
back
because
I
think
it's
an
important
piece
of
work
that
you
did
a
look
into
tomorrow,
I'm
actually
and
I
did
buy
a
book
for
my
granddaughter
and
I
asked
you
to
sign
it
Farah
what
you
did
so
I'd
like
to
ask
you,
you
know
what
is
it
about
your
book.
A
B
It's
a
futuristic
world
where
there's
a
lot
of
lush
greenery
and
there's
people
who
are
walking
and
biking,
and
she
sees
sort
of
this
idealistic
world
of
what
her
current
society
could
look
like
and
it
sort
of
relates
to
climate
change,
and
it
relates
to
the
environment
and
what
the
world
would
look
like
if
we
transitioned
to
more
renewable
energy
like
I
know,
Massachusetts
is
currently
doing
right
now.
Mm-Hmm.
A
B
So
I
actually
got
inspired
because
I
watched
a
TV
show
maybe
10
years
back
called
Earth
2100
and
it
was
about
what
the
world
would
look
like
if
we
continued
emitting
fossil
fuels.
So
it
was
actually
sort
of
the
opposite
of
what
my
book
currently
is,
but
it
was
very
graphic.
It
had
a
lot
of
really
beautiful
illustrations,
but
they
were,
you
know,
very
sort
of
desolate.
It
was
like
this
world
where
there
was
not
a
lot
of
greenery
and
people
were
fighting
over
resources
and
I
just
thought.
You
know.
C
A
B
That's
a
good
question,
so
the
age
range
is
pretty
wide,
it's
from
6
to
12,
and
the
reason
is
because
it
is
a
picture
book.
So,
even
if
you
don't
understand
all
of
the
words
the
pictures
sort
of
explain
what
the
book
is
about,
12,
because
it's
also
a
very
complex
subject
so
oftentimes
the
kids
who
are
reading
it,
who
are
a
little
bit
younger,
have
more
questions
and
then
the
older
ones
still
have
a
lot
of
questions,
but
generally
know
a
little
bit
more
about
the
topic.
B
I
also
am
looking
to
target
communities
where
there's
kids,
who
maybe
don't
feel
as
empowered
generally
and
want
to
be
able
to
make
a
change.
Because
really
the
point
of
the
book
is
we
want
I
want
to
give.
You
know
the
power
to
kids
to
make
them
feel
like
they
can
make
a
difference
in
their
community
yeah.
B
B
So
I
actually
went
through
a
number
of
revisions
throughout
writing
this
book
and
my
first
revision
or
my
first
version
of
the
book,
was
actually
featuring
a
character
who
looked
kind
of
like
a
younger
version
of
myself
and
I
didn't
really
notice
it
at
the
time
it
was
sort
of
subconscious.
You
know,
I
just
created
this
character
and
then,
after
a
while
I
started
to
realize
that
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
children
of
color
who
are
underrepresented
in
the
media
and
I
wanted
to
change
the
main
character.
B
I
just
realized
that
the
reason
I
did
it
was
because
that
was
what
I
was
used
to
and
I
wanted
to
give
people
within
those
communities.
Power
to
you
know
feel
like
they
could
relate
to
the
main
character
and
I
also
think
that
the
world
of
the
future
is
going
to
be
one.
That's
a
lot
more
diverse.
You
know
and
you're
going
to
see
a
lot
of
what
you
see
in
the
book,
which
is
a
lot
of
mixed
culture,
a
lot
of
mixed
races,
and
that's
really
why
I
decided
to
choose
well.
C
B
B
C
B
And
I
was
actually
living
in
Fairfax
Virginia
at
the
time,
and
so
my
whole
goal
for
the
gold
award
was
to
teach
kids
about
the
environment
as
it
relates
to
animals
and
endangered
species.
So
I
found
different
ways
to
teach
them
and
I.
Remember
thinking,
there's
no
books
out
here
that
I
can
read
that
are
about
animals
that
are
endangered.
B
So
let
me
just
write
one,
and
so
this
book
actually
started
out
as
a
book
that
was
targeted
to
focus
mostly
on
animals
and
how
we
could
help
maintain
their
spaces
and
then
over
time
it
actually
changed,
because
what
I
realized
was
that
it's
important
to
preserve
animal
spaces,
but
really
the
root
of
the
problem
is
us
changing
the
environment
as
a
whole
which
comes
from
energy.
So
it's
has
a
really
big
focus
now
on
like
solar
power,
wind
power,
hydroelectric
power,
and
it
focuses
on
the
animals,
but
only
a
tiny
bit.
B
A
B
B
Yeah
so,
as
I
sort
of
hinted
out
earlier,
it
did
start
out
with
more
of
an
animal
focus.
So
at
the
beginning
the
book
was
mostly
just
about
animals
and
it
was
about
how
we
can
preserve
their
spaces
and
so
I
actually
left
a
lot
of
that
out.
I
had
to
really
cut
it
down.
It
was
just
a
lot
of
information
about
animals
and
then
also
when
I
first
ride
it.
We
started
writing
the
book.
B
I
read:
I
wrote
it
from
sort
of
a
high
schoolers
perspective,
because
I
didn't
know
how
to
talk
to
kids,
never
had
any
siblings
growing
up,
never
had
any.
You
know
young
cousins
or
anything
so
I
didn't
really
know
how
to
talk
to
kids
and
the
words
that
I
worried
was
using
were
pretty
complex
and
the
ideas
were
a
little
bit
difficult
to
explain.
So.
I
left
a
lot
of
that
out.
I.
C
B
A
lot
of
cutting,
but
then
at
the
same
time,
did
a
lot
more
with
the
illustrations.
Because
of
that
and
then
I
guess.
One
more
thing
is
that
when
I
started
writing
the
book,
there's
actually
a
page
that
talks
about
light
bulbs
and
at
the
time
I
was
writing
it.
Compact
fluorescent
light
bulbs
or
cfls
were
the
most
energy-efficient
type
of
light
bulb,
but
that
actually
changed.
While
I
was
writing
the
book,
so
I
had
to
modify
it
and
I
change
it
to
LED
light
bulbs
yeah.
B
B
I
wanted
to
do
Japanese,
because
when
I
was
growing
up,
we
actually
had
a
public
school
that
taught
us
Japanese
from
an
early
age,
and
my
parents
signed
me
up
for
it.
I,
don't
think.
I
really
knew
what
I
was
getting
into
at
that
time,
but
I
just
started
with
it
and
then
really
continued
and
really
enjoyed
it
and
right
now,
Japan
is
still
sort
of
in
its
early
stages
of
transitioning
off
of
nuclear
energy.
B
And
it's
also
at
a
point
where
the
Renewable
percentage
of
its
entire
electricity
portfolio
is
still
relatively
small,
so
they're
looking
to
expand
and
they're
looking
to
get
more
solar
and
more
hydro,
and
so
it's
a
good
book,
because
right
now
it
shows
what
their
future
could
look
like.
Yeah,
yeah.
B
C
C
B
B
I
definitely
am
I
actually
really
want
to
translate
it
into
Spanish.
So
that's
one
thing
that
I'm
looking
at
I,
don't
know.
Spanish,
so
I
will
need
to.
You
know,
find
someone
who
knows
Spanish.
That
would
be
really
helpful,
but
a
lot
of
it
is
because
I
mean
first
of
all,
a
lot
of
people
speak
Spanish
and
the
United
States
and
then
second
of
all,
there's
such
a
huge
solar
market
in
Latin,
America
right
now
and
I
think
it
would
be
a
really
good
way
to
explain
sort
of
why
the
solar
panels
are
there.
B
I
know,
there's
some
communities
who
have
solar
panels
being
built
like
in
their
backyards,
and
it
might
be
a
nice
way
to
explain
to
them
that
this
is
a
good
thing.
You
know
it's,
it's
not
just
something,
that's
being
built
in
your
backyard
that
you
don't
know
too
much
about
it's
actually
something
that
will.
You
know
really
help
the
community
yeah.
A
B
I
would
say
it's
different,
largely
because,
instead
of
talking
about
the
issue
of
climate
change,
it
really
doesn't
focus
on
the
issue
too
much.
It
just
focuses
on
what
we
could
have
this
beautiful
society
with
a
lot
of
trees,
a
lot
of
greenery
people
who
walk
outside
in
order
to
get
where
they
need
to
go.
You
know
a
lot
more
connection
with
nature,
I
think
in
society
and
I
think
it's
really
desirable,
so
it
doesn't
really
scare
the
reader
away,
which
is
something
that
I
had
felt
in
the
past.
B
When
I
would
look
at
documentaries
or
when
I
would
read
books
about
climate
change,
it
was
always
very
scary
and
I
felt
like
I.
Couldn't
do
anything
about
it,
but
this
book
shows
it
in
a
positive
way
and
not
only
that,
but
it
shows
how
the
main
character
can
change
so
that
her
current
world
that
she
lives
in
is
more
like
the
one
that
she
visits.
B
So
I
would
want
them
to
really
feel
that
they
can
relate
to
the
main
character
and
that
they
really
see
themselves
in
her
and
feel
that
they,
just
like
her,
can
make
a
difference
in
their
community.
Can
speak
up
to
adults
and
ask
you
know
if
they
want
to
have
solar
panels
built
on
the
roofs
or
you
know
if
they
want
to
start
a
rooftop
garden
or
something
you
know,
because
it
really
doesn't
hurt
to
ask,
and
once
you
do,
you
can
actually
make
a
difference.
So
I
would
want
that
for
them.
Oh
good.
A
B
Yeah,
of
course,
yeah
so
I
do
have
a
an
upcoming
website
for
the
book,
but
for
now
I
do
have
a
Facebook
page.
So
I'll
share
with
you
for
that.
In
order
to
obtain
the
book,
you
can
also
go
on
Barnes
and
Nobles
website
and
just
search
a
look
into
tomorrow,
and
even
if
you
go
on
google,
you
can
search
a
look
into
tomorrow
and
it
should
show
up
as
well.
