The Charlie and the Chocolate Factory-style story will make everyone smile, but there is also an opportunity to discuss renewable and sustainable energy sources and the wider implications on the environment. It’s an important subject that can be introduced in a very simple way through this clever tale of one plucky girl and her bird.
