She takes trips to climb up mountains, hike through rainforests, and swim in oceans and lakes any chance she gets. While living in Costa Rica for two months, she learned of Grecia's story from a local ornithologist and visited Rescate Rescue Center in Alajuela to conduct interviews with the rescue team. This is her debut picture book. Diana Hernández grew up in San Rafael de Heredia, in the small but beautiful country of Costa Rica. She works as a colorist and illustrator and hopes to work as a concept artist for the animation industry.
