Rina writes hopeful, inspired by real-life eco-fiction about kids and teens who risk it all to help save the natural world. She also writes action-based eco-nonfiction for young people who want to get outdoors and do activities that help the planet.
Upcoming projects:
- Eco-fiction: A sixteen-year-old travels to Madagascar to follow in her grandmother’s footsteps as a primatologist, but when her lemur internship is upended by the rediscovery of a small duck thought to be extinct, she must chose between helping save the world’s rarest bird from disappearing forever or the family legacy she’s been dreaming of since childhood.
- Eco-nonfiction: A year following real tweens and teens in an environmental club at their school as they carry out fun indoor and outdoor activities that help the planet.
