Ellie Jackson – Stories That Heal, Stories That Teach
In this heartfelt episode of Voices of Purpose, we’re joined by Ellie Jackson, the inspiring children's author behind the global environmental education series Wild Tribe Heroes (www.wildtribeheroes.com).
Ellie’s beautifully illustrated books help children understand the importance of caring for our planet—covering topics like ocean pollution, deforestation, and climate change in a way that is accessible, engaging, and hopeful. Her stories are loved by teachers, parents, and children alike for their ability to spark meaningful conversations in classrooms around the world.
But what makes Ellie’s story even more powerful is the “why” behind her work. After experiencing the heartbreaking loss of her brother, Ellie chose to channel her grief into something that would uplift others—empowering young readers to become changemakers in their own communities. 🌱📚
In this episode, we explore:
- How one moment of loss led to a lifelong mission
- The importance of storytelling in environmental education
- Ways educators can talk to children about difficult topics with honesty and hope
- How Ellie is helping shape a more compassionate and sustainable future
Whether you're an educator, a parent, or someone looking for purpose after pain, Ellie’s journey will move and motivate you.
