The head teacher of a local primary school wants to introduce comics into the curriculum. He would like to use them to teach students new topics such as healthy eating, food chain, green cross code, habitats, four seasons etc.

The comic book must have at least four pages and include characters that the primary school students can relate to. You must also make sure that the language used is appropriate for the reading age of your audience.

The final comic must be exported in a format that can be distributed easily and viewed on any type of computer.
