Comments from the Authors:
At the Breteau Foundation, we believe in providing opportunities for children to engage with real-world issues that go beyond the classroom walls. Working with Miraculous Ladybug to create a special episode about Plastic was a unique opportunity for us to reach millions of children around the world to raise awareness of the global plastic crisis and inspire them to become active change makers.
~ SEBASTIEN BRETEAU
We are very happy to be involved with the Breteau Foundation in a very important initiative: to enable our children to be aware of current issues and protect the future of the planet. This message will be all the more powerful because it is delivered by Ladybug, a heroine as famous as she is ambitious. The DNA of our series and the values it conveys are naturally aligned with the issues championed by the Breteau Foundation.
