Basel and the Breathing Wall


    

In a town where the summer sun blazes all year long, a clever boy named Basel dares to ask a simple question: “Why can’t walls cool themselves down?” When air conditioners fail and rooftops feel like frying pans, Basel turns to curiosity, creativity, and a bit of cardboard magic.

Join Basel as he invents the Breathing Wall—a smart, energy-free solution that cools homes using airflow and reflection. Through hands-on experimentation and a spark of imagination, Basel transforms his idea into a real invention that changes his entire neighborhood.

Perfect for young readers who love to explore, invent, and dream, this story blends engineering concepts, environmental awareness, and the power of one curious mind to inspire the innovators of tomorrow.

With engaging storytelling, vibrant characters, and real-life science at its core, "Basel and the Breathing Wall" will open young minds to the exciting world of sustainable design and problem-solving.
