Suzanne has been living with her family in Hong Kong since 2014. A true nature and animal lover Suzanne was compelled to involve others in her plight to raise awareness.
A keen dragon boater and beach goer, Suzanne engaged the dragon boat community to reduce single use plastics at training and events.
During her volunteer work Suzanne decided to reach young minds with a story that might provoke a reaction in communities across Hong Kong and around the world.
The Green Dragon books were written to touch the hearts of children and encourage them to take action, hopefully influencing their peers and family members along the way.
The goal is to touch a chord in the hearts of children to promote change. Suzanne hopes to reach children with the emotional stories and characters to raise awareness and prompt a lifelong change in behaviour.
The Green Dragon is an old, wise character with many friends. When his friends are hurt by the plastic pollution in the ocean he feels anger and despair. A young boy comes to his rescue in more ways than one.
After tacking the problem of marine pollution in The Green Dragon, Willy and some new friends raise awareness of human habits that must change to protect the country parks.
Highlighting the dangers of feeding wild animals, this story brings some light-hearted humour to a serious topic, with some new and old friends joining Willy on his third adventure for a most unbelievable story that rocks a small community to the very core.
Willy's adventure takes him into Kam Shan Country Park in Kowloon. He learns all about the construction of the Kowloon reservoir many years ago. But how did all the monkeys end up in Kowloon? And why are they so angry?
As part of our Book Week celebrations, FS-2 to Y6 students had a real treat. Local author Suzanne Younan shared the first of her four Green Dragon books and invited students to consider how they can lead through action. All of Suzanne’s books are set in Hong Kong and allow students to connect with their local environment.
