Fabian the Adventurous: Fables of the Costa Rican Forest

By Gerardo Hernández Elizondo

Fabi n is a five-year-old boy, intelligent, very curious, he has a dinosaur lantern and he likes adventures, helping and singing very much. Every time he enters his little hill... poof it appears in a Costa Rican landscape: the humid forest of Tortuguero, the slopes of the Arenal volcano, the tropical dry forest of Nicoya or the mangroves that whisper shhhh. There he meets unforgettable friends - Roco the wise raccoon, Colin the prankster monkey, Zuma the patient oriole, Brumo the prudent deer, Iga the intelligent iguana, Pia the attentive kitten... - and together they solve real problems with humor and heart.
These 12 fables bring readers closer to essential topics: responsible use of water, fire prevention, respect for wildlife, river cleaning, silent tourism, reforestation, self-care and healthy habits. Each story is narrated with short paragraphs, onomatopoeias (chiii , fuuu , glu-glu ), and gentle dialogues perfect for reading aloud. In the end, a simple moral helps to talk as a family or in class: "Dessert is visit; strength lives in the colors of the dish.""The tool serves the heart that decides.""If we measure the sip, the water is enough for everyone.""What you take care of today, sings tomorrow."It includes gentle scientific nods (what is a mangrove, why plants filter, why you have to speak softly in the forest) and concrete actions for children: zero waste, soft feet, cans away, plant and protect, fair turns. A luminous collection for children aged 5 to 10 that mixes adventure, laughter and values with the music of the forest.
