Today in conversation with noted conservation #biologist, educator and author-illustrator Alan J. Hesse. Based in biodiversity-rich Ecuador, Alan’s work is inspired by the majesty and fragility of #nature and the need to do everything we can to #protect it.
Alan combines his #artistic creativity with his technical experience and knowledge to create #scientifically #accurate, educational #graphicnovels full of quirky, comic humor and fun action that also bear a message about how everyone can help preserve Nature.
He is the author and illustrator of six non-fiction graphic novels for middle grade children, among which his main ongoing focus is the #CaptainPolo series about #climatechange. Alan is also the author of 3 climate change-themed picture books for children within the 6-8 age range. Alan has combined #fiction and #nonfictional facts in an interesting way to come up with varied #storylines to educate adults as well as children about the forces of nature and the #positive solutions that can be implemented to bring about #climate preservation.
Captain Polo series is a completely #witty and #informative combination of #fiction and #nonfiction unlike other #climateactivists who are more interested in being politically correct!!
