Get ready to be inspired by this biography of one-of-a-kind diplomat and activist, Christiana Figueres, whose fight to protect our planet isn't over yet.

Raised in the mountains of Costa Rica surrounded by lush rainforests and vibrant wildlife, Christiana always had a deep love for the natural world. From the shimmering quetzal birds to gleaming golden toads, the biodiversity of Costa Rica was truly a sight to behold. However, with deforestation on the rise and increasing pollution, the dazzling species that defined the rainforest began gradually going extinct as Christiana grew up. Thus began Christiana's journey to becoming a diplomat and eventually one of the most influential voices in the realm of environmental activism on a mission to save the planet from losing any more precious species of wildlife.

Christiana Figueres, Friend of the Rainforest is a story of perseverance sure to inspire readers from all over to take a stance in protecting our special planet.

Nazareth Hidalgo Lobo is an illustrator and designer from Costa Rica. As a kid, she loved drawing and expressing herself creatively every chance she got. So it's no wonder that as an adult, she continues to express herself through her children's book illustrations. Naza enjoys exploring the nature and beauty of Costa Rica, where she often finds herself inspired by its magic and wonder. Her illustrations are vivid, colorful, and full of the joy found when kids are at play.
