A Picture Book for Earth Day

By Maryann Yin 

Cartoon voice actor Ian James Corlett has released a picture book with 26 stories entitled E is for Environment. It stars two siblings, Lucy and Elliot, the same characters he created in his first publication E is for Ethics.

Corlett has built a career in animation television. He has created two animated shows in his native Canada, Being Ian and Yvon of the Yukon. He has also lent his voice to several cartoon characters.

Here’s more from the press release: “[I]ssues such as recycling plastic bottles, carrying reusable bags, switching to litter-less lunches, and conserving water while brushing teeth, are discussed in an enlightening—utterly entertaining—way. Thought-provoking discussion topics and questions accompany each story, as well as tips and tricks for preserving energy and natural resources.”
