Comics and cartoons make learning fun!
When you learn while having fun, you never forget what you learn.
A parent or teacher knows that there's nothing like pictures to grab a child's attention. That's why I create educational graphic novels and cartoons. The idea is to provide learning resources that are informative AND engaging.
My work is all about Nature and environment. Kids naturally gravitate to these subjects and are increasingly exposed to troubling news about very serious issues, such as climate change. It's important to talk to them about these things clearly and positively, in a way that offers solutions and inspiration for the future.
Check out my new releases below as well as my other books, cartoon portfolio and blog and get in touch - I'd love to hear from you!
My main comic book character, Captain Polo the polar bear even has his own blog where you'll find some cool free stuff to download - check it out!
