Tiny the Treefrog will teach the importance of recycling in his Christmas book.Elizabeth Mulderig said that her newest book, Tiny Goes Green , aims to be Bermuda’s first eco-friendly storybook for children.She explained that not only did the story teach children about recycling, but the book itself was made from environmentally friendly materials.Ms Mulderig said: “The book is produced using recycled paper and there is no plastic coating on the pages, so the illustrations have a more earthy and less glossy look.”In his latest story, Tiny learns to use plastic waste, such as bottles and drinking straws, that he collects around Bermuda.He eventually creates a treehouse out of colourful plastics.Ms Mulderig said that the story was “fun with humorous illustrations” but ultimately had a serious message.She added: “Since the holiday season is about thoughtfulness and giving, I felt it would be a good time for Tiny to give the idea of empowerment over one’s environment.“Even if kids take a walk on the beach once a week and pick up some of the plastic, which now outweighs the seashells, they can improve the environment. After all, the future of the island belongs to them.”• Tiny Goes Green can be bought in bookstores or at www.tinythetreefrog.com
