Building Homes for All: Technology for a Fair and Green Planet

"The world is facing a double whammy—a housing shortage and a climate crisis. We need more houses built faster without polluting the earth! Is your brain starting to hurt?" In this timely, engaging and beautifully illustrated book, young readers (ages 9 to 12) discover why homes are essential to our health and well-being and meet innovators who are pioneering a global movement in construction automation. What if we could tackle the world's housing shortage and climate crisis with teamwork and technology? Young readers meet trailblazers who are proving that we can build affordable, sustainable housing with cutting-edge technologies such as 3D printing, mass timber and robotics. And, they’ll learn about the challenges that come with innovation. While technologies offer hope and solutions, it takes teamwork to solve complex problems and change traditional ways of doing things. Meeting inventors who are unafraid to dream big, fail hard and try again instills a deeper message—one that encourages kids to embrace their curiosity and creativity and not fear effort or failure. Perhaps this book will even inspire young readers to pursue their curiosity all the way to a STEAM career—innovator, inventor, builder, designer, problem-solver! Maybe they’ll be the future builders of a clean, green world. This book is perfect for middle-grade STEAM and social studies curricula. Published by Orca Book Publishers (March, 2026), Building Homes for All is part of the Orca Think nonfiction series for middle-grade readers, which introduces kids to issues making headlines in the world today. It encourages them to question, connect, and take action for a better future.
