'The Green Dragon' is the first in a series of environmental stories for children. Highlighting the problem of plastic pollution in the ocean, the story is of a friendly, green dragon who just wants to play and have fun with his friends in the sunshine and on the beaches of Hong Kong. On one particular morning things don't go quite to plan. He finds several friends affected by marine pollution and then later, finds himself in a very scary situation. Saved by a kind boy who listens to the dragon's story, the boy decides to take action and spread the message to his family, school and friends to make changes in human habits to help save the sea creatures. With beautiful illustrations of scenes and animals from Hong Kong, this book is used in primary schools to help with environmental units of enquiry. Meet Pearle the Pink Dolphin, Myrtle the Turtle, Eddie the Egret and of course Willy, The Green Dragon on his first adventure. You will find an educational page at the back of the book, referencing the Draco Viridi Ltd website for further information on the topic. Although set in Hong Kong, the story is valid anywhere in the world, unfortunately. If you have a love of Hong Kong or travel you will surely enjoy the references to this beautiful land.
Autorenporträt
Suzanne is a British citizen who moved to Hong Kong in 2015. In late 2017 a series of typhoons devastated the region. After joining a beach clean-up, her eyes and heart were opened to the immense problem of plastic pollution in the ocean. Propelled by a love of nature and being a keen dragon boater, Suzanne founded a volunteer organisation. She turned to her new sporting community to raise awareness of the volume of single use plastic used in the sport. With great success and plenty of frustrations along the way, her journey then took her a step further to write children's books raising awareness to youngsters, about the issues that face not only Hong Kong but the planet. Her books take Suzanne to schools within Hong Kong, reading her stories and discussing with children how we can change human habits for the sake of our planet. The book series is a work of passion, a true calling.
