A Message for Parents, Teacher,

and Caregivers!

EDUCATE ~ INSPIRE ~ ELEVATE

Award-winning science teacher and author, Diane (D. J.) Kristoff aka Dino Diane,  is on a mission to inspire our young people to get off their screens and elevate their health and well-being by learning through adventure in nature.

“Let’s teach our young people how to use screens responsibly and create a healthy balance between screen time, family time, and time in nature!”

From digging dinosaurs and holding a wild’s bear head in her lap to tickling a fish and making fire, primitive-style, Kristoff’s exciting real-life experiences are woven throughout her book series, Dino Diane's Adventures. Explore the Grand Canyon, Bryce and Zion Canyons, Mesa Verde National Park, and Dinosaur National Monument, learning geology, biology, anthropology, paleontology, ethnobotany, and the history of the old Wild West.

"It is my hope that my book series and adventure club will encourage young people to become courageous adventurers, growing in confidence, self-reliance, and instill 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 young people to respect others and to treat others with compassion, nonjudgment, and kindness, while caring for our wildlife and Mother Earth.
