ROCHELLE STRAUSS

Create | Engage | Inspire

Rochelle Strauss is on a mission to change the world – one book at a time!

As an environmental educator and best-selling children’s author, Rochelle is dedicated to building environmental literacy and inspiring people to become active stewards of our planet. Through her work, she uses compelling storytelling to bring complex environmental issues to life, helping young people better understand the natural world and empowering them to make a positive impact.

Rochelle’s children’s books have won several awards, been published internationally, translated globally and incorporated into curriculum in the US. The Global Ocean (Kids Can Press, 2022) is a UNESCO endorsed Ocean Decade Activity, and One Well: The Story of Water on Earth (Kids Can Press 2007) was selected as part of the UN’s SDG Book Club in support of SDG 6 – Clean Water and Sanitation. One Well has sold over half a million copies internationally. She has two new books arriving in 2026 and many more in development.

Rochelle and her partner live in Toronto, Canada, on the traditional territory of the Wendat, Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg, and the treaty lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit. Though she grew up a city girl, Rochelle is happiest when she is in, on, or by the ocean.
