Acclaimed children’s book author Martha Keswick is the brains behind the popular bilingual Max and Mei picture books series, the non-fiction Zhongguo Mingren series, and the action-packed Pangu comic series for children learning Chinese as a second language. Keswick’s philanthropic work for the Keswick Foundation on disaster-related projects in China also led her to create Cope, a children’s book series designed to enhance disaster resilience.
Covering natural hazards ranging from floods provides coping tools and relatable stories in an imaginative and simple way. The not-for-profit books are copyright-free for NGOs’ use. Keswick, who has four children of her own, speaks to about how her books are helping children around the world.
