Stories that reconnect children
EarthTale is building a global children’s book series inspired by nature and real conservation projects worldwide.
In co-creation with designers, biologists, and international nature organizations, we tell stories about the richness of life on Earth.
Our mission is clear: ultimately, to reconnect every child with nature!
The four pillars of our story
To understand is to protect
Children discover the hidden connections within nature
Everything is connected
From microscopic life to remarkable ecosystems
Rooted in real nature
Created with field experts and wildlife partners worldwide
Creating impact
For a new generation of conservationists
Learning to really see nature
We travel through tropical forests, beneath the sea ice, and across the grasslands of the savannah. Near home or far away, we discover stories from nature that are worth telling.
Our illustrations stay true to life, helping children observe, understand, and connect with the natural world.
