Our “Animal Conference on the Environment” (ACE) project started in 1997 when the 3rd Session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change was held in Kyoto, which was a significant event in the recent history of the fight against global warming. It consists of seven volumes of picture books for children and a corresponding web site, in which unfolds a story of an animal conference held in a German forest, with participants coming from all over the world to discuss—with much humor—environmental issues that are familiar to all of us. The animal characters of ACE are all very unique, each representing their respective national and cultural backgrounds. They include a raccoon coming from Japan, a tiger from India, a hedgehog from Germany, an elephant from Kenya, an eagle from the US, an alligator from Brazil, and a rabbit from the UK (a dog character from Korea and a seal from the Arctic will also join the conference in Vol. 6.) During the course of the conference, these animals are involved in heated and sometimes comical discussions while revealing their ignorance, selfishness, and prejudice toward other cultures.
