It follows an easily distracted little elephant making new friends and exploring the African savanna.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Elee the Mindful Elephant<\/em> TV series will be developed by Iouri Stepanov and Lakeside Animation, with Aron Dunn from Treason Media serving as showrunner. David Wollos of The ThinkTank Emporium and Treason Media initially teamed up to adapt the book for television.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Green Kids Club has licensed its <em>Environmental Heroes<\/em> book series to Storypod to develop and produce audiobooks. The first two audiobooks, <em>Elee and the Shining Star<\/em> and <em>Princess<\/em>, will be released later this year.<\/p>\n<p>Medina said: \u201cI\u2019m delighted to be working with Aron again. I knew he had the sensitivity, imagination and unique ability to help kids find calm in these challenging times through the healing power of laughter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stepanov said: \u201cOur prior relationship with Aron has been very productive. So, when he brought <em>Elee<\/em> to us, we had no hesitation in partnering on this unique and timely project.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wollos added: \u201cWe are pleased to be working with Iouri Stepanov and his team to bring <em>Elee the Mindful Elephant<\/em> to a global audience via various media platforms and licensed product opportunities. The sheer potential in all these areas for <em>Elee<\/em> is a wonderful asset for all concerned and its strategic relationship with Aron.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dunn commented: \u201cWorking with Sylvia, David and Iouri individually is a delight. Working with them collectively on such an important project has been an honor and a privilege. I\u2019m thrilled to help bring some good into today\u2019s turbulent world. And I know Iouri\u2019s team of amazing artists will create lovable characters that will bring comfort and joy to kids around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Green Kids Club has optioned the rights for Elee the Mindful Elephant, a story from the Environmental Heroes book series, to Lakeside Animation for the development of a new preschool show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[6487,6488,6489],"class_list":["post-22977","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-elee-the-mindful-elephant","tag-environmental-heroes","tag-green-kids-club","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Environmental Heroes Animated Series in the Works - TVKIDS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/environmental-heroes-animated-series-in-the-works\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Environmental Heroes Animated Series in the Works - TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Green Kids Club has optioned the rights for Elee the Mindful Elephant, a story from the Environmental Heroes book series, to Lakeside Animation for the development of a new preschool show.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/environmental-heroes-animated-series-in-the-works\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-05-16T13:34:51+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-05-16T16:12:28+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/07\/green-kids-club-0522.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"405\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/environmental-heroes-animated-series-in-the-works\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/environmental-heroes-animated-series-in-the-works\/\",\"name\":\"Environmental Heroes Animated Series in the Works - TVKIDS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-05-16T13:34:51+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-05-16T16:12:28+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/environmental-heroes-animated-series-in-the-works\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/environmental-heroes-animated-series-in-the-works\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/environmental-heroes-animated-series-in-the-works\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Environmental Heroes Animated Series in the Works\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\",\"name\":\"TVKIDS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
