Book Description:
Sammy, a sergeant major fish, and Scarlett, a yellowtail snapper, are best friends who have found safety in a mangrove forest after being washed out of a tidal pool in a large wave. But they’ve decided to leave the mangroves and their friend Manny and journey across the sea-grass meadows to the barrier reef of the Florida Keys, the place that will be their home in adulthood.
Along the way, they make a new friend, a hawksbill sea turtle named Howie. Howie is a kind sea turtle who gives the young fish the guidance they need to get where they’re going and stay safe. The three quickly become fast friends and learn that they can trust one another through thick and thin. Howie protects the little fish from predators, and in return they help keep the turtle safe from the dangers of human litter such as plastic bags. Join Sammy, Scarlett, and new friend Howie as their epic journey continues through the magnificent Florida Keys.

A Life’s Journey by Robert Andrew Provan
Research for my books has been the culmination of a lifelong journey of being a “highly observant nature nerd”. At the age of four I sailed with my family on a cruise ship from NYC to England. I was absolutely fascinated by the ocean as we sailed across the raging tempest that is the North Atlantic in winter. At the age of five, I informed my parents that I would be joining the United States Navy. They of course patted me on the head and said, “that’s nice Son”.
During my elementary school years along with my family we watched every Jacques Cousteau, Richard Attenborough, and National Geographic TV show. The family never missed Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom. I was fascinated by all things water. I frequently snorkeled in the cold mountain waters of New England trying to emulate Captain Cousteau, looking for fish, salamanders, and turtles. Like most kids I was a sponge for information on a topic which intrigued me. I had found mine.
Fifteen years after telling my parents that I would be joining the Navy this childhood prediction came to fruition. Following my Navy technical school training I asked for and received a home port assignment out of the continental United States. Against all odds I landed the highly coveted home port of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. From Pearl we crisscrossed the vast Pacific and Indian Oceans as well as the Sea of Japan, South China Sea, Russia’s Sea of Okhotsk, and Australia’s Coral Sea.
When at sea during off work hours I could most often be found up on deck. Frequently the only person on deck when not required by duty. Most sailors tired of the view of the seemingly endless sea. I did not. From humpback whales in Hawaii to albatross soaring thousands of miles from land I soaked it in.
Now a Florida resident and long-time diver/snorkeler and fisherman I still watch every legit nature show that comes out. The basis of my knowledge for my nature-based children’s books is path notes from the grand journey we call life.
