The Adventures of Camellia N. Under The Sea

Environmentally-focused children’s book series for boys and girls, ages 5-9.  Journey with pint-size explorer, Camellia N., as she takes children on expeditions to all seven continents, under the sea and into space where they learn about and gain appreciation for the environment, wildlife and natural resources. Each book highlights species that are endangered or of concern.
 
The Adventures of Camellia N. inspires children to become stewards of the environment.  The series has been adopted by school districts throughout the United States (for use in libraries and for in-class integration) and elementary schools abroad.  The Global Pen-Pal program has further propelled the series into children’s lives and hearts!
