See what it's like to be a lonely coconut floating hundreds and even thousands of miles through the seas to find a new home and make it your own. Little Coconut Island is a wonderful children's book written by Raea Gragg, daughter of Gary Gragg (As you can see, the coconut does not fall far from the tree). Little Coconut Island tells the incredible story of the real life drama coconuts since time immemorial around the world have faced in their odyssey of becoming one of the most widely dispersed trees on Earth. It also showcases the intriguing and complex process of island biologic colonization, pioneering and succession in a simplistic way that a preschooler could comprehend. Finally, Little Coconut Island is founded on the themes of family love, letting go, perseverance, bravery and hope. Click here to purchase a copy on Amazon.
