Billy Jean the Cloud and Bill the Hawksbill Turtle

by Hyacinth Paul, Shirin Dey

Billy Jean the Cloud and Bill the Hawksbill Turtle find endangered animals all around the world. These animals are close to extinction and are classified as critically endangered. Billy Jean and Bill decide to tell the world to save these animals and live happily ever after because they are confident all the boys and girls and mamas and papas of the world will make a change. The World Wildlife Fund has highlighted critically endangered animals, some of which are on the brink of extinction. While researching the market for a concept for unique toys, I found the need to create beautiful toys representing these endangered animals and a story to accompany them. The Amur leopard, the black rhino, the Bornean orangutan, the Cross River gorilla, the eastern lowland gorilla, the hawksbill turtle, the Javan rhino, the Malayan tiger, the mountain gorilla, the orangutan, the saola, the South China tiger, the elephant, orangutan, rhino and tiger from Sumatra, the vaquita, the western lowland gorilla and the Yangtze porpoise are critically endangered animals as assessed by the World Wildlife Fund.
