The inspiration behind
Sustainability Books for Kids
The book series 'Sustainability Books for Kids' is a heartfelt creation driven by Karen Cammell's deep love for her first granddaughter, Amonita, and her desire to create a better world for future generations. Witnessing Nita's innate connection with nature and boundless curiosity, Karen was inspired to develop a series of books that would capture Nita's imagination while instilling important lessons about sustainability.
Nita became the shining inspiration behind each page, serving as a guide for Karen's storytelling and embodiment of the bright future she envisions for children. The series thus becomes a tribute to Nita, with the aim of empowering young readers to become environmentally conscious and take small steps towards making a big difference in preserving our planet.

"I am a South African-born illustrator who began my road to illustrating multiple books in my teen years. Illustrating is my passion, and collaboration is important to me. I firmly believe that it is crucial to spread educational and truthful topics to children through the means of stimulating imagery.
