About me
Alan J. Hesse is an author-illustrator who merges professional expertise in nature conservation with storytelling and artistic skills. Alan's 30-year career in conservation gives him a unique edge in the children's book industry and allows him to produce books that are both highly engaging and deeply educational.
He is the author of ten children's books, most of them graphic novels and comics that have been compared to the legendary Tintin collection. These include the growing and highly acclaimed Adventures of Captain Polo series about climate change.
