SucSeed Publishes a Line of Children’s Books to Teach About Sustainability
SucSeed has begun publishing an 18 book series that teaches youth about the Global Goals through the stories of a group of diverse superheroes.
[ST.JOHNS, June 19, 2023]—SucSeed (SucSeed Social Enterprises Inc.), announced today their expansion into the sustainable education space through the publishing of two children’s story books and an activity book. The first book is “The Sustainable Superheroes'' which'' which introduces the 17 Sustainable Superheroes and their passions. The book is a great way to introduce youth to the Global Goals in an engaging and positive way. The second book is “Super Rori: An Adventure in Responsible Consumption and Production”; which shares the journey of Rori becoming a sustainable superhero through exploring composting, thrift shopping, and supporting local! Finally, SucSeed has also published a coloring and activity book that allows children to further explore and learn about concepts like water conservation, climate action and gender equality. These books can be found online at Amazon.ca or on SucSeed.ca and will be available in local stores later this month. The first class reading of “The Sustainable Superheroes” took place in Mr.Shoemakers Kindergarten class at St. Matthews Elementary in St. John’s. He shared
“My Kindergartener's loved Sustainable Superheroes. After the reading, children chose a hero that was their favorite and shared why. Their discussion made it clear that each child was able to see something of themselves in their chosen hero. This made them a part of the story and connected them to the importance of sustainability. I love that this book puts complicated but important concepts in child friendly language and makes inclusion and appreciation for diversity a focal point. This is a book my kids have requested to hear again and again.”
