Receive Text UpdatesShe is a born advocate who would choose a grassy field over electronics in a heartbeat. What she loves most is the "rescue" mission—she is constantly on the lookout for insects to save or injured animals to help. She’s the family "eco-police," teaching us how to better protect the Earth. Whether it’s studying a beetle in the grass or exploring the ocean, she views nature as something to be cherished, protected, and carefully observed with her undivided attention.
Her favorite is the Giraffe. At just four, she connected their long necks to her favorite dinosaur, the Brachiosaurus, believing them to be their modern descendants. She is deeply drawn to them because they are gentle herbivores; and are "kind" animals that don't harm others. Her passion goes beyond just liking animals—she can distinguish complex patterns between big cats and knows exactly which species belong in the Amazon. She’s a tiny expert with a huge heart.
Living in the city, she makes the most of every "urban nature" moment. Her absolute favorite activity is hiking and visiting the park to climb trees, watch the ducks, and hunt for unique fallen leaves to bring home for her art projects. She is happiest when her hands are in the dirt or grass looking for insects. To her, a day spent outside exploring is better than any cartoon—she’d rather be a part of the natural world than just watch it on a screen.
