The first book in a new series of books about Caribbean nature. Whether it flies, runs, crawls, swims, or just sways in the wind, Close to Nature will bring you a book about it.
We dedicate our first volume to the brown pelican, a bird that most of us know by sight, but probably have learned little about. Did you know that pelicans have the longest bill of any bird in the world, and that it is one of the few land animals that can drink salt water?
Fully illustrated with stunning photographs taken in the Virgin Islands, Brown Pelicans will educate and delight readers of all ages.
