Sophia dedicates her book, Becoming Earth 2.0, to all the young readers out there who have the heart to be stewards of our planet. As a teen educator, she aims to empower and join hands with children around the world in building a greener future.
Book Synopsis:
In the year 2100, Karina and her team of top international scientists help a far-away planet named 2.0 battle climate change before it can wipe out the alien population. As a survivor of the once environmentally devastated Earth, Karina knows that the only way to progress is to learn to live alongside nature. Follow her through a journey of finding trust, friendship, and purpose as Karina seeks to restore breathing life on 2.0.

Taking it a Step Further
Sophia will donate Becoming Earth 2.0 and other illustrated environmental education books to charitable organizations promoting literacy. She hopes that all kids will have equal access to the delight of reading and the resources to learn about their home. Along with book donations, Sophia plans to visit local libraries, schools, and science enrichment camps to give engaging presentations and collaborate with environmental nonprofit organizations to create online learning toolkits.
