Greetings! Here’s something I thought you might find interesting. I’d like to talk about the background of the award-winning Kobee Manatee® Children’s Educational Picture Book series. I’ve been writing and working on the series for the past 12 years and I’d like to show you where Kobee and his ocean buddies have been traveling.

Below are the current installments in the Kobee Manatee® series …

I sure hope you enjoyed learning just a bit about the History of Kobee Manatee. I’ve been truly honored to have brought Kobee and his seafaring pals to the world. After each school visit, I always send the audience home with a quote of mine:

“The Uniqueness of You is Your Priceless Gift!” – RST, Children’s Author

Stay tuned for any new updates on the series!

If you see any sick or injured manatees, please call the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission at: 1-888-404-3922 (FWCC). They are the folks who are responsible for rescuing manatees.
