At 5, she’s wild about wildlife, from bugs to bison! Curious, caring, and bold, she learns, protects, and shares their stories with heart.

What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreI love nature because it’s real magic all around me. Trees waved their big green arms like they’re saying hello. Flowers were fairy dresses, and bees buzz to say they’re busy. I jump in puddles like happy frog. The clouds turned into animals or something that looks like spilled milk at night, the star sparkle, light glitter for the man in the moon nature smells like grass, rain, and sunshine. It’s my favorite place to play and dream.
My favorite animal is the giraffe because she’s super tall and sees everything from the sky! Her neck is like a long ladder, and she eats green leaves with her blue, sticky tongue. Her spots look like puzzle pieces, and her little horns are so silly. If I had a giraffe, I’d ride on her back and float through the clouds with her long legs. She walks like she’s dancing. Giraffes are gentle and my favorite to see at the zoo.
My favorite outdoor activity is swimming in lakes. The water feels cool and tickles my toes! I splash, float, and pretend I’m a duck or shiny fish. Sometimes little schools, a fish swim near me, and I say hello and wonder what they are learning. The tree shade me while I play in the sun, makes the water sparkle like diamonds. I love the splashing sound and tiny waves that greet the mallards snacking on moss. I could swim and splash all day like a happy fish in my own wild water world!
