Reseña

A Tale of Monteverde and A Tale of Manuel Antonio are two magical stories intended for a young readers’ audience. Each story is set in the extraordinary natural landscapes of Costa Rica that give them their names, and although they can be read independently, both share a thematic connection that subtly intertwines them.
Throughout these pages, the reader enters two unique ecosystems: the mysterious cloud forest of Monteverde and the lush tropical rainforest of Manuel Antonio. These environments are home to fascinating species that inspire the adventures of the protagonists.
Edmon, a golden toad from the cloud forest, and Nioma, a curious squirrel monkey from Manuel Antonio, embark on journeys filled with discoveries, unexpected encounters, and profound questions about the world around them. Their stories invite readers to observe nature with wonder and respect, while exploring values such as friendship, empathy, and care for the environment.
Thus, without resorting to the typical sermon, and in the midst of the environmental and social crisis of our time, both stories seek to awaken a deeper sensitivity toward nature and life in community.
