Founded by award-winning science teacher and author, Diane (D. J.) Kristoff aka Dino Diane, who is on a mission to get young people off their screens and into better health and well-being by spending more time adventuring in nature.

“Let’s create a healthy balance between screen time, family time, and time in nature!”

Kristoff’s book series, Dino Diane’s Adventures, encourages young people to become courageous adventurers, growing in confidence, self-reliance, and instills a love for learning through adventure.

Here’s what Jaden, a middle-schooler has to say…
“Best books I’ve ever read. Fun and Scientific!  Now, I can enjoy reading and learning all at once.”

Most importantly, Dino Diane inspires kids to respect others and to treat others with compassion, nonjudgment, and kindness, while caring for our wildlife and Mother Earth.
