All our family LOVED the book and here are the reasons:
1. Great teaching points throughout the book. Pili’s adventures tell about real-life situations of modern society. It raises awareness about the world we live in. It improvers children and particularly girls to dream big.
2. Absolutely beautiful illustrations. Each page has so many details that we can discuss with my daughters. They ask many questions.
3. Bilingual.
4. Great audio version.
5. On the last page, it provides guidance for parents on topics for discussion.
The only downside is that my daughter asks me to read this book to her every morning before she goes to school:)))

As a person involved in conservation, I believe this is the perfect book to inspire children to love nature and care for our planet.
I bought this book as a gift for my nephew that lives in Florida. He instantaneously loved it. And as Mr. Safina mentions in his foreword, “Now, the thing is, this book isn’t too far from the real truth. Pilar is a real girl, and her Dad is the author of this book. And the forest—they’re making progress.” Well, I had the pleasure to encounter the dad-daughter team in one of my travels, and indeed, the book’s character Pili is a great representation of the real person. I will certainly keep this book for potential gifts for future children’s birthdays and family gatherings. A great dual language book, both in English and Spanish. Highly recommended!

The book is colorful. It is an excellent read. I like that it is a dual-language children’s book. Pili’s adventures are not only delightful but have teaching moments as well. A truly engaging story of a little girl’s adventures. And this is a real father-daughter storybook.
I highly recommend this book.

After traveling with the author to Patagonia recently and hearing about the children’s book he was working on, we were really excited to finally get to see it. The book is so well done. A great story to inspire little girls everywhere. Plus it touches on so many salient points for today’s world; empowering girls, independence, humanitarianism, global thinking. Most importantly exploring the big wide world at a young age can be for girls too! The illustrations are amazing, each one puts a smile on my face. A book for kids of every age. The fact that it is bilingual is a huge bonus because it will reach so many more kids than just those that know English.

I had the pleasure to work with the author during a press trip in Medellin (Colombia) years ago. I have followed his career with great enthusiasm, and when I saw this book I realized it was the perfect gift for my friend’s kids. And I am sure It will be given out as a gift to many other children. Beautiful story, powerful lessons, and great illustrations. Recommended as a great
Dual language children book!

I liked the ideas Pili had and really liked it was bilingual English and Spanish. This book is recommended for kids of all ages and adults. And I really liked the meaning of the story and how Pili helps to make the world a better place. – Luna, 8 years old

A wonderful adventure for bilingual families to enjoy, and a strong, female lead for girls to look up to. Particularly enjoyed seeing New York from the eyes of a New Yorker.

This book is fantastic! I love that it is bilingual. The illustrations are colorful, fun and interesting, and make for some engaging conversation with my daughter. The topics of conservation and making a positive contribution to society are very important concepts which I am able to discuss with my toddler and she actually remembers the story at random times and starts to tell me about Pili and her little dog and about her daddy.

I purchased this book as a gift for my nieces, as I am a Colombian birdwatcher and want to get them interested in Colombian birds. The book has arrived and they have been studying it, in preparation fro a visit to Colombia later this year. It is fantastic how having the book has really gotten them excited about birding! Can’t wait to show them some of Colombia’s bird diversity in person! Another added bonus is that it is bilingual, so it is also a great way to get the kids practicing their Spanish/English!

I love birds and have seen first-hand how birdwatching has changed the way many of my friends see the natural world. This book is a much-need learning tool for kids to ignite in them an interest in birds… I wish that I had this book when I was a little kid!

The perfect coloring book for those parents and educators who want to introduce the little explorers to bird watching. Like all their books, is a bilingual edition English and Spanish, even incorporating the Latin name. Beautiful illustrations of some of the most stunning birds of Colombia. Simply the perfect gift for any 4-8 year old.

This book is a great tool for young kids to start learning and, perhaps more important, appreciating a fascinating group of animals. Who knows, maybe a future Rachel Carson or Aldo Leopold will mention this book in the future as a great influence! Highly recommended.

Purchased this as I am a Colombian birder, as a gift for my nieces who I often babysit. Let me just say they were entertained for hours and are getting more and more excited about seeing the birds in real life on their next trip to Colombia!
