The 2022 Central America Series Team
The Central America Series will soon have FOUR new books, expected to be published in May or June of 2022, about Sloths and Macaws. Each title will be published in both English and in Spanish! Our partners include researchers at The Sloth Institute and the Macaw Recovery Network, both of which are based in Costa Rica. Watch for updates here! Meet our team who helped create the books! |
Sara Misak is a senior studying Visual Communication and Biology. She is the Lead Graphic Designer and worked with the Sloth team this semester. Inspired by the work Conservation Tales does to promote wildlife conservation, she is creating sculptures of both a three-toed and two-toed sloth for her Creative Honors Thesis.

Ashley Owens is the co-author of the Sloth book and studies Life Science Education at Ball State. She is a part of the Honors college. She worked on the monarch butterfly book as a co-author and did Monarch illustrations. She created the monarch butterfly family card game that was presented at the 50th HASTI conference.

Kami Geron is one of the illustrators and designers for the Macaw book. She is a double major in studio art and mass communications at Ball State University. She is excited to be a part of the team for the next several years as she pursues her master’s degree in Emerging Media Design and Development in 2023.

Karina Kasmauskis is a double major in Landscape Architecture and Spanish. She enjoyed being involved in such a diverse project in which she was able to explore environmental systems and conservation from both a biological and artistic perspective. She was excited to apply her Spanish toward a project that would make the story and art more widely accessible. She had so much fun learning and collaborating with so many interesting people outside of her majors!
