Makoona John Morano |
|
Welcome to the story of Binti, an octopus who lives in the Makoona coral reef, and Kemar, a Cambodian boy who fishes the reef. As a mollusk without a shell, Binti believes she's missing something but the reef is a dangerous place to search for anything, let alone the shell that will fulfill her and enable her to communicate with the spirit-fish. Only with the help of her friends and a psychedelic octopus who speaks in Grateful Dead lyrics, does Binti stand a chance. Fifteen year old Kemar is running from the Khmer Rouge when he crosses the path of a strange octopus and befriends both a Vietnam vet and an old American mechanic who claims she was once a world famous aviator. Kemar's life hasn't been easy but his hardest choices may still be yet to come. The tenets of John Morano's eco-adventures are upheld in Makoona. Spiritual fulfillment, the journey toward self-awareness, the vital importance of friendship -- all are woven together in a story that opens our eyes to this fragile ecosystem to which we all belong. Featuring a special introduction by Kathryn S. Fuller, President of the World Wildlife Fund. |
