Discover the TerraTopia Books
Many TerraTopia books were released in the early 1990s. There was even a special collection of four stories put together in one hardcover book. This collection won an award from Parents' Choice Awards!
The books are like short graphic novels. They have pictures in comic-book style panels and speech bubbles, just like a comic. The stories teach you about the amazing wonders of nature and why it's important to care for our environment. In these tales, the wise Elders of TerraTopia give five ordinary children special animal totems. These totems give the kids the power to turn into that animal!
