The cast

The character universe.

Twelve arctic heroes and one very hungry villain. Each character owns a corner of the curriculum, so meeting a friend is also meeting a skill. Final artwork is in production — for now, a block colour and a stand-in mark hold each one’s place.

Penguins

Sharp little dressers who live for the sounds letters make. The phonics crew.

Sea Lions

The laid-back beach kids. They break words apart and never rush a story.

Polar Bears

The elders. Patient mentors who unlock the big Latin-root words.

The antagonist

Looks like the villain. Is mostly just hungry — for the ends of your words.
