Nicole was born and lived in Guatemala City. She would have stayed there with her family, if it hadn't been for a terrible earthquake. Her family needed to move to the United States for work. Although it was hard for her to fit in in the beginning, Nicole filled her time with understanding and appreciating nature. She wondered at the power of nature and how it could easily transform the environment. She also saw first hand how destructive nature can be. As she grew up, she decided to study climate change so that she could help her neighborhood. Everyone listened to her, even the President and his wife. This biography will inspire kids to go out and change the world, as well as be curious about nature.
My daughter and I enjoyed this book because it showed Nicole's whole life journey. It was interesting to see what inspired her to study climate change. This was a well written biography for kids because it was informational and very engaging.
