My Mission

My mission is to instill the love of nature in children and share with them the importance of conserving our natural resources.

My Vision

To give children the opportunity to see nature through the eyes of fictional characters- Bristolons, who are the offspring of the world’s oldest living tree species, the Bristlecone Pine.

Short Intro

The Bristolon Chronicles is a series based on the adventures of four Bristolon and three children. While there is some seriousness in the book, it is fast-paced with a lot of humor and adventure.
