Once upon a time, River and Tom came to life. Two curious city kids with big hearts and an even bigger sense of adventure. Together with their magical bike, Rusty, they set out to explore the wild world around them and help real Nature Heroes protect our planet.
The Secret Protectors Club was born from that same spirit of curiosity and care. We’re parents too, and we know how important it is to connect with our children, and how hard it can sometimes be to get them off the screen and explore the outside world. Our mission is to help families raise mindful, nature-conscious kids by turning learning about nature into a fun, shared adventure.
Each letter is a doorway into that world and a chance for parents and children to read together, laugh together and discover something new. Every story comes with hands-on missions that bring the magic to life and end with a secret message from a real Nature Hero.
While River and Tom are imaginary, the people they meet — director of The Ocean Cleanup to founder of Sungai Watch and nature hero working with Patagonia — are real-life heroes working to protect our world.
We believe that one cannot protect what one doesn’t understand and love.
That’s why we’re here: to help families nurture that love together, one mission at a time.

Our Mission

Who we are
We are Masha and Elodie, two friends, mothers, storytellers, book authors and lifelong learners. Our mission is to help families foster a deeper connection with each other and nature, in a creative, fun and imaginative way.
We’re Masha, Elodie and Bregje. We want children to keep their love for nature, trust their instincts and feel at home in the natural world around them.
As mothers, we know how full family life can be. We created Secret Protectors Club to make meaningful time between grandparents and grandchildren a little easier and a little more magical.
We provide a new way to make 4-10 year old children fall in love with nature through storytelling and fun nature-inspired missions. We also want to invite children to help make this planet just a bit healthier and friendlier, starting with your own neighborhood.
