In a world of insurmountable challenges: global warming, natural disasters, depleting resources, war and poverty, what lies ahead for the future of the human race?

Robert Karl Hanson believes the answer rests with our children and in their education on personal relationships and global issues. By presenting realistic solutions and promoting universal compassion Hanson hopes to inspire a peaceful revolution of positive change in youth throughout our world.

In his new children's book, Bluey and the Great Spirit Moon, Hanson's main character, Bluey, overcomes many seemingly overwhelming global issues on his home planet, giving readers hope and belief that Earth can be saved too.

With help from his adoptive family and friends Bluey inspires peaceful change by convincing the ruling armies to disobey orders, to lay down their arms, to forgive the past in order for everyone in their world to return to a natural, sustainable, enjoyable existence.

"Bluey will help educate the uneducated. He will share his unconditional love with the unloved and his uplifting story will inspire the hopeless, who believe there are no solutions to our ever increasing global issues," Hanson says.

With a particularly applicable message towards conflict in the Middle East, Hanson uses his main character Bluey to show that love is the most effective weapon in the fight against evil. He also expresses that the only way to end ignorance is through education and that the only way for us to move forward into a bright future is through forgiveness of the past.

With engaging characters and epic landscapes Hanson's colorful artwork takes the readers into another magical realm of child-like imagination. Directed at school aged children Bluey and The Great Spirit Moon opens their eyes to a world outside their own as they explore their blossoming personalities.

"I want to prove to kids that no matter how small you are or how unimportant you might feel, if you follow your dreams and work hard, nothing is impossible." Hanson says.

About the author:
From Tasmania, Australia, Robert Karl Hanson originally created Bluey and The Great Spirit Moon as an animated feature film concept. It took ten years for Hanson to complete the pre-production package, which includes: a screenplay, artwork and a CD of the soundtrack he composed and produced on multiple instruments including character vocals. It is his ultimate dream to produce this film and to donate a share of his profits to empower the poor. His first goal is to visit refugee camps to share Bluey's story on a projector screen in multiple languages while performing a live music show.
