Arktel, the Planet Only Children Could Save

Elelle and Rotaahr looked out the window of their father’s flying saucer. Below was Tarjez, the most beautiful planet in their galaxy. But the forces of evil had been busily destroying the majesty of this planet, leaving only one small child alive to watch the bitter end. Devastated, the children begged their father to rescue Janos – but it was too late. Tarjez exploded leaving them no choice but to flee for their lives. Would Ellelle and Rotaahr learn how to protect their home planet, Arktel, from the same evil forces threatening to destroy them? Or was it too late?

Ellelle and Rotaahr were determined to do all they could to save their world so they met with other school friends to brainstorm what their world’s problems were and asked their parents to help solve them in addition to doing much research. The momentum gathered as the children began to implement changes in their homes. They went out into the community and gave presentations showing the adults what they had done and imploring them for help. Then something amazing happened – because they were using less resources and living more simply, more attuned to nature, they became happier, more radiant, and were a living example for all to see.

The movement to save their world grew to other schools and other countries until a political shift occurred and the children were finally given a voice for their future.

Captain Paul Watson wrote ‘Can children save the world? The answer to that is that our only hope for the survival of all that is beautiful and alive is that they must. When I read a children’s book, I look for one virtue more than any other and if I find it then I see a book that has value. That virtue is empowerment. With Arktel, The Planet That Only Children Could Save, I see a tale that educates, inspires and empowers.’

A surprise ending and an important message to all the children of Planet Earth.
