Join author Paul Shore, and illustrator Prashant Miranda and hear about the process behind the creation of their children’s graphic novel Steve and Eve Save the Planet, from the idea, through writing, editing, and illustrating.
“The realization that young children intuitively understand what is healthier for them and the planet, sent me in search of partners to help create an uplifting climate action kids book that would cultivate hope and a sense of opportunity during the challenging era in which our children find themselves growing up.”
Paul Shore is an award-winning author and accomplished business professional and engineer who has always embraced adventure and exploring nature with children. Born and raised in Ottawa, Paul moved to the west coast after graduating from Queen’s University and has since worked around the globe in high technology, sport, and healthcare. He has developed electric vehicle teaching resources for elementary schools and sits on the board of Ecology Project International, assisting to bring science-focused conservation programs to students and teachers. Paul’s travel memoir, Uncorked, won the 2017 Whistler Independent Book Award for Non-Fiction.
