Suzie Hicks The Climate Chick

Nothing’s too heavy if we lift together!
Suzie Hicks the Climate Chick started out as a college-produced Studio TV series, then transformed into a preschool teaching persona, a social media account, and now an award-winning children’s pilot.
An environmental educator and her anxious puppet co-host travel the world to find solutions to local climate change problems, meet awesome real-life role models, and find ways to stop freaking out along the way.
Produced with the help of many friends all over the world, Suzie Hicks the Climate Chick aims to educate everyone about the local impacts and solutions of climate change through puppetry, comedy, and music.

Zaynab the Great and the Giant Plastic Monster

Zaynab the Great and the Giant Plastic Monster is a scientific adventure story for young readers, inspired by one of my former preschool students. The story follows Zaynab the Great as she battles a monster made out of plastic trash that is terrorizing her oceanic friends. She uses her powers of investigation to find the cause of all the garbage, and works with her friends and her town to create equitable solutions and ultimately shrink the monster down to nothing.

I’m Not A Scientist

In 2019, I wrote and hosted a live two hour science show every Wednesday on the main channel of Caffeine TV. It was a perfect outlet to yell about the planet in a lab coat while children on the internet asked me to play video games. I covered topics like poop, dirt, and fungus while tying in themes of ecological justice and conservation. One time the CEO of the company tuned in at the exact moment while I was describing turtle genitalia, but I didn’t get fired! This project showed me just how willing to learn kids (AND ADULTS) are, as long as the content is fun and accessible.
