3 Reasons YA Fantasy Author is Enchanted with Mangrove Trees
I love mangrove trees, and as I Miami native, I remember seeing these wetland beauties line Greynolds Park’s waterways. These trees enchanted me so much, I even ventured into kayaking to be closer to them. I loved watching the rippling water lap along their roots.
In my book, The Witch of Belle Fleur, mangrove trees play an important role in Juliette’s transformation into a witch. I won’t give away too much, but it’s memorable! I can’t wait for you to read it!
Here are a three reasons I love mangrove trees:
- Mangrove trees stretch their long and graceful roots into water and find a way to survive. They are survivors!
- These trees are land makers. Dirt gets trapped in their roots and over time land is formed. They are creators!
- Mangrove seeds can travel miles and miles, finding a new home to thrive. They are travelers!
