The story for this comic book came to live after Pamela Peeters joined Dr. Martin Nweeia on a real Narwhal expedition to Pond inlet, Canada. She accompanied him on several boat and camping trips with Inuit fishermen and was able to see hundreds of Narwhals on two occasions: a life changing moment! Spending time away in extreme remote areas\u00a0with just three other expedition members\u00a0offered a lot of time for many great conversations on a range of topics\u00a0that\u00a0included Narwhal knowledge, storytelling, climate change, the shipping industry\u00a0and the story of the first \u201cEco Hero\u201d graphic novel began to unfold. \u00a0<\/p>

The book invites the reader to dive into an Arctic adventure with the magical Eco Hero and become a part of a 1000 year old legend that involves a Narwhal, an accomplished scientist and an Inuit community. The story\u00a0blends science, traditional knowledge, folklore, mystery, adventure, magic and the fantastic drawings by Rafael Munoz make it an unforgettable read!<\/p>

The publication\u00a0matches academy objectives and\u00a0is complemented with a teachers\u2019 manual and classroom materials. It is suitable for PK, K6-12 and is available at select locations, several museum shops, school libraries, environmental clubs and educational initiatives.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
