Overview

Story Description: In a flood-prone village in the Philippines, young Mary watches the same bridge get destroyed every year by rising waters. While adults rebuild it each time, Mary thinks differently. Inspired by floating barrels, she designs a flexible pedestrian bridge that rises and falls with the river instead of resisting it. Using old materials and help from her grandfather, the community builds a floating bridge that survives the next storm. This inspiring tale introduces young readers to the power of adaptive design and community-led innovation. Mary's solution shows that resilience sometimes comes not from strength-but from movement. A beautiful lesson in engineering with empathy, resourcefulness, and respect for nature.
