Denzil the Dragonfly

Denzil the Dragonfly’s Environmental Journey Denzil has been created as a colourful and very versatile character, designed to explain the terminology and raise awareness of environmental issues at key stage 1 – 2 primary school level. I see Denzil as a reporter on the environment, taking his reader through the story pointing out and explaining about good and bad environmental practices as he moves from scene to scene. His story starts as an introduction where he explains in simple terms the meaning behind the words sustainability and environment. He then asks the reader to travel with him on a journey, and moves swiftly to a landfill site where he explains about the problems of disposing of our unwanted waste. Denzil flies away from the smelly landfill site and onto a recycling site, there he explains about reusing, repairing and recycling.
