The story of Coco the Coconut Crab, authored and illustrated by Shelly Kremer, is based on the Chamorro legend of Naabak. If you follow Naabak (fantail) in the forest, you will become forever lost. The natural history of the animals found on Saipan is integrated into the story line....monitor lizards really do lounge in the sun, partula snails really do bear live young, megapodes really do bury their eggs in the volcanic soil, and fruit bats really do live in colonies flying out at night to eat fruit and drink nectar from the flowers. So come follow Coco on her journey as she searches for her home.
