In the heart of Argentina’s Iberá Wetlands, a once-degraded ecosystem is being infused with new life. Jaguar in the Shadows follows the compelling adventures of Elena and Enzo Friuli, siblings whose passion for conservation leads them back to their ancestral homeland. Elena, a biology and ecology student determined to restore balance to fragile ecosystems, and Enzo, a tech-savvy photographer with a knack for storytelling, embark on a transformative six-week rewilding project.
Guided by the charismatic conservationist and rewilding expert, Bianca Alvarez, the Friulis dive headfirst into the wetlands’ vibrant world, brimming with caimans, capybaras, marsh deer, and the elusive jaguar, Tupã. Together, they navigate challenges that test their skills and resilience, from earning the trust of skeptical ranchers like Rafael Gutierrez to implementing innovative solutions like flashing solar lights and drones to protect livestock. Alongside Ana, Rafael’s determined daughter, they witness the wetlands’ revival and inspire a community of young and old to embrace coexistence with nature.
"Nalani and the Coast Care Crew" is an inspiring story about kids who care about their community and the environment. Nalani, is a 12-year-old girl who loves spending time at the beach. She's sad because her favorite spot is covered in trash! She learns that plastic pollution is a big problem for ocean animals and the whole planet. Instead of just wishing things were different, she decides to take action!
Nalani knows she can't do it alone, so she teams up with her friends Mateo and Aya. Together, they form the "Coast Care Crew," a group dedicated to cleaning up the beach and making it healthy again. They even come up with a cool name for their mission on social media – #CoastCare!
Follow their adventures that include friendly surfers, a grumpy fisherman, a major storm, and how they bring together their community.

This is series of children's books that I wrote in the style of Edward Lear (British 19th century author of "The Owl and the Pussycat" and numerous limericks). I enjoy revisiting some of my favorite poems from the past and re-imagining them for the 21st century. The books are available in eBook and paperback format.
I hope you enjoy them!

This is series of natural history books I wrote. I have long been fascinated by these colorful insects. Each book covers over 60 species of both common and rare butterflies from all over the world. In the first volume, each species is annotated with literary quotations about butterflies. In the second volume, each species is annotated with scientific references. These books are available in both eBook and paperback format.

I found that learning math can be a fun experience for students!
How is that, you ask? Math always seems to be a dreaded subject!
The answer, in my mind, is using a combination of psychological ideas:
Piaget's work on the status of concept formation in kids:
Concrete operational: normally between the ages of 7 to 11 - concepts are constructed based on concrete objects.
Abstract operational: kids 12 and above - concepts are constructed based on abstract ideas.
Pattern recognition - this is one of the reasons that everyone loves puzzles!
This book, "FUN MATH EXPLORATIONS" was written using the above combination and published as a flip-book.
