Reviews
"'My favourite part of the book is the presentation of the different characters, especially Herbert the wild boar. I enjoyed reading it because it is entertaining but I felt a bit upset about the problems the animals are facing in Hong Kong. I will recommend the book to my friends in Hong Kong and abroad. I liked this book better than ""The Green Dragon"" book because it is more exciting, it is funnier and there is a more detailed description of the characters'. Daniel age 9 'I did like the book. My favourite part of the book is all of it! And my favourite character is (the second bird) because it is very beautiful'. Ana age 6 'Suzanne's second wonderfully written and illustrated book takes us on a joyful journey with a bird's eye view of the glorious nature to be found in Hong Kong. We also learn that although our convenient lifestyles create an unfortunate mess that affects our animal friends in a bad way, there is something we can do about it'.

Author Information
Suzanne is a British citizen who moved to Hong Kong in 2015. In late 2017 a series of typhoons devastated the region. After joining a beach clean-up, her eyes and heart were opened to the immense problem of plastic pollution in the ocean. Propelled by a love of nature and being a keen dragon boater, Suzanne founded a volunteer organisation. She turned to her new sporting community to raise awareness of the volume of single-use plastic used in the sport. With great success and plenty of frustrations along the way, her journey then took her a step further to write children's books raising awareness to youngsters, about the issues that face not only Hong Kong but the planet. Her books take Suzanne to schools within Hong Kong, reading her stories and discussing with children how we can change human habits for the sake of our planet. The book series is a work of passion, a true calling.
