The wait is over. The new series "Surf Soup" is here to entertain children who love the ocean, travel, surf, and are enthusiastic to learn new things with a unique and curious cast of characters. Oh! What an adventure.

Learning to be good stewards of our environment and restoring hope.

Learning why we need to save "Hope seeds" 

Award-winning honored TV animator, author, and illustrator Donna Kay Lau has created the 'Surf Soup" series that will delight ocean and nature lovers.  

Placing herself as the Auntie in the 'Surf Soup" series, she teaches the characters many lessons, taking them in her surf van flying thru the air. 

This silly adventure, and a story full of trees, gardening, and all kinds of ways to show kids how they can incorporate being a good caretaker to our environment as well as caring for themselves and being aware, and mindful of the energy they put out into this world.

Auntie Donna had to find a way to 'draw' herself as "Little Donna' to give kids "Hope Our Environment." and use her story to teach that saving "Hope Seeds" will matter, because "Seeds Matter."

An adventure straight out of Auntie Donna's imagination.

Why do we need to save "Hope Seeds?"

"By saving, exchanging, and reusing seeds over

thousands of years, farmers and gardeners carefully

selected crops for various traits adapted to many

growing conditions and climates, creating a rich 

genetic plant heritage that formed the base of the

global food supply.'

The author has illustrated a children's book for all the little boys and girls that love a silly story, learn ways they can help our environment, and gain "Hope for Our Environment."
