Matthew and the Horrid Haze

Matthew, like other young children, loves to play outdoors. But when the region's annual haze pollutive smog at its worst comes around, Matthew is forced to stay indoors. Ever curious, he asks, Why can't I see the sky? In this delightful children's story, Wind blames the burning Trees in the forests. Trees, in turn, blame the tinderbox-like Peat soil, which in turn points the finger at Man, who says he needs fertile soil to grow his crops. Finally, Matthew asks, How can we get back clearer days? The included suggested questions enable adults to use the storyline to help children find out more and to appreciate the urgency of sustaining this precious Earth.
