"North American Swamps"

nehajagtap

SWAMPS. Its intended for grades 1-3. Since the focus is on North American Swamps, the audience would be children in North America. The goal of this book was to share some basic knowledge about Swamps. A lot of animation was used because they have been proven to capture the attention of younger audiences. A lot of positive or negative images were used to convey the message easily. Very basic language was used so kids can understand. By targeting a younger group, my hope was to stimulate the excitement of wetlands at an early age. This way they will be encouraged to learn more and protect swamps later on in their life.
This book wold be distributed for free so more kids could read it. Easy access will increase the convenience of both the child and parent.
