So What is the Green Kids Club?
Green Kids Club is designed to teach young children the importance of environmental stewardship through picture books. The series was developed to teach children the importance of protecting habitats, to sustain ecosystems, animal and ultimately human life. Difficult environmental issues such as poaching, habitat, encroachment, etc. are part of our stories.
Victor, Maya and Tiago are the main characters in our Green Kids Club Series. In our first story, The Green Spring, the children receive the power to talk to animals by drinking water from a magic spring. In this story, the Grand Council of animals select Victor and Maya to drink water from this spring and from here help to preserve and protect our planet Earth. Kids from all over the world also end up drinking water from the Green Spring and together they help Victor and Maya teach others to protect the animals and their homes. The adventures take them all over the world, exploring new cultures and learning about protecting and preserving the environment and the animals that depend on them.
In this Green Kids Club adventure, Maya and Victor Green are visiting their friend, Ilauk at the Arctic Ice Cap. Polar Bears, orcas, arctic foxes, and harp seals come to understand that the Green Kids are helping the environment and protecting their homes. But, the Green Kids have gotten stranded on an ice flow…what will happen to the Green Kids?

Anju takes the Green Kids for a ride on her prized elephant only to come across a wild herd that is planning on trampling her village if they continue to destroy the land that the elephants depend on. Can the Green Kids come to the rescue and save the village and the mighty elephants?
