Book of the Month - MARCH

KOKO AND THE COCONUT

by

Turia Pitt and Celestine Vaite

Illustrated by Emilie Tavaearii

I ordered this book for a good Summer read, but it didn't arrive in time. This new read arrived today on the first day of Autumn.

Since we are still enjoying sunny beach days, it is our book of the month.

Cheer on Koko as he reaches to claim his coconut prize.

Do you recognise the author?

It is the inspiring athlete who triumphed over adversity and an incredible recovery from fire.

Turia Pitt is living proof that, with the right mindset, we can achieve anything!

Read, "Koko and the Coconut", it too is an inspirational read!

I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Ask your teacher to read it, next time you visit the library.
