Climate Tales
A Collection of Books on Climate Change
by our Young Authors
Welcome to our collection of insightful books on Climate Change authored by our children at Sunnyside as a part of our Environmental Sciences Program, an immersive & hands on program based on Experiential & Project based learning.
As a part of this learning journey, children authored the books under the Earth Authors Program - facilitated by YouCan and the Cogitation Club. These books serve as powerful tools crafted by our young authors, aimed at raising awareness about the pressing issue of climate change. Through their unique perspectives and compelling narratives, our kids delve into this crucial topic, offering fresh insights and inspiring action towards a more sustainable future. Explore their impactful narratives and insights on climate change through our collection of online zines below.
A walk along the sea. A world unexplored. A world unseen. Knowledge unheard. Knowledge unknown. ‘The Hidden Ones’ is more than a story; it's a call to value the unheard voices and recognise the keys they hold in the battle against climate change.

Electric Shock
I am an MTC bus whizzing down the ECR in Chennai… Old, rattly, and worn down, I hear the news that E-vehicles are taking over. Are they the perfect solution for climate change? Or do they also have their share of downsides? What do you think, my dear reader? Will you hear my side of the story? Will you flip the page. . .or retreat?
Choiceless
Boom! Blam! The air itself shook. The ammonium nitrate along with other explosive fertilisers inside exploded. A glowing orangish-black mushroom plume blew through the open roof of the storeroom, towering over the entire village. A deafening explosion shattered the silence of the midnight air. Toxic, black fumes encircled the landscape as if it were a Malaippāmpu strangling people to death. A fertiliser once used to aid agriculture has now turned into a bomb.
The Uprising Tide
Terror-struck, paralyzed, I thought, "Why is this happening to me?” I had the sudden urge to jump off the roof, but I was held by others with me. "Save me!" my wife screamed.
A dangerous storm threatens Adarsh and his tribe of fishermen. They manage to survive, but they now have to deal with a more significant threat to their way of life and livelihood. Can he solve their problem?
