Determined not to give up learning, Mali and her friend Noon come up with a bold idea - to design a floating classroom made of bamboo, powered by solar panels. With the help of her grandfather and the community, they build a stable, eco-friendly classroom that floats above the flood. Mali’s creation inspires nearby villages, proving that engineering can rise - literally-to meet climate challenges.
This story gently introduces young readers to sustainable design, teamwork, and resilience. Through realistic challenges and creative thinking, children see how they too can invent solutions that help their communities thrive - even in the face of rising waters.

Mali’s teamwork with Noon and their connection to local culture highlights how tradition and innovation can work together. With themes of sustainability, collaboration, and community, this book is a perfect inspiration for children to build, dream, and float above any obstacle - just like Mali’s classroom.
