Synopsis

A new series of climate-conscious children's books.

Hector is a kind little hedgehog who likes playing with his friends in the park. When he sees the old park keeper has a problem he wants to help. But what can a hedgehog do for a human being?

Hector Helps Clean Up the Park is the first in a series of children’s picture books written in accordance with a number of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. With fantastic, colourful animal characters, the stories show children how helping each other and their environment can be lots of fun!

The books are suitable for use at home or in the classroom and include questions for discussion on the topics raised – a useful supplement for teachers.
