Meet Milo, the quick, curious mongoose who calls St. Croix home! In his third picture-book outing, Milo continues to explore the island’s golden shores and shady groves while learning two important lessons:
Lesson 5: The Gift of the Breadfruit
When Milo finds a perfect breadfruit, he’s tempted to keep it all to himself. But as he crosses the island with it in paw, he discovers that sharing what we have—even just a little—can fill more than one belly. It fills hearts, too.
Lesson 6: The Trouble with Not Telling
A favorite basket gets broken, and Milo tries to hide the truth. But secrets grow heavy, and with help from a quiet friend, he learns that telling the truth—especially when it’s hard—makes things feel right again.
