Rebecca goes to school and helps her family care for the animals when she is home.  \nOne very hot day, Rebecca finds her mama 1 crying.  \n“Our crops have been bad this year,” she says.“Now our goats and sheep might die.”  \n1 'mama' is Kiswahili for mother  \nAt school, Rebecca asks her teacher why there has been so little rain this year.“We have had many days without rain,” says her teacher.  \n“When we have no rain, plants cannot grow. Without plants to eat and water to drink, our animals die.” Everyone in the class is quiet. They are worried for their families, their animals, and their community.  \nAt the school library, Rebecca searches for information about rain. What she learns is difficult. The whole world is getting hotter, and there is less rain. She learns a new term: “Climate Change.”  \nCars, buses and airplanes are making the air dirty. Trees are being cut down, and used to make buildings. And trash is buried in the ground. All these things are harming nature.  \nFor the whole day Rebecca feels sad. What can just one girl do to help the whole world?  \nRebecca decides to talk to her teacher about what she has learned.“It is a big problem for the earth,” her teacher explains.“But there are some things we can do to help, like planting trees to make nature stronger.”  \nAs Rebecca walks home, it is hot and she stops to drink from her water bottle. She can’t stop thinking about the lack of rain, and how she can help her community.  \nThen she has an idea.“I’ve learned so much about climate change,” she thinks.“It would help if everyone knew about this problem!”","cbCaihJXobV0mLLz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihJXobV0mLLz","pdf",6031567,2,22,"English","en",105,"# Rebecca, the Maasai Changemaker\n## Drought and worry at home\n## Discovering climate change at school\n## Turning knowledge into action","[{\"question\":\"Why does Rebecca’s family worry about the animals and crops?\",\"answer\":\"They experience very little rain, which prevents plants from growing.
