Start Their AdventureRafael, or “Rafita” is a boy who loves being in nature. We reside in Tucson, Arizona. So we love to be up in the mountains, while on hikes. What Rafita loves most about nature, is when he is outside he feels a connection with nature and how we should respect it, and it’s rich biodiversities.
The thorny devil lizard, because it is native to our beloved desert, and how it has protective armor to help shield it against predators.
His favorite outdoor activities are walking our two dogs. Did we mention, hiking. He also really enjoyed his gardening class, when they offered it at his school. One of his favorite electives, as I’m told. Lastly our favorite pastime, is to find a perfect grassy hill…To roll down of course.
