FROM COCO PLUM LANE TO COCO PLUM ISLAND!

 


“From Coco Plum Lane to Coco Plum Island”! Hydie Knowles and her family once lived on Coco Plum Lane, Seabreeze Estates, Nassau, Bahamas! And in “Island Surprise: A Bahamian Adventure”, two young boys head to Coco Plum Island with their parents to surprise their grandparents for Easter!

Hydie is seen here with her copy of Island Surprise and me! She asked me to inscribe my children’s book to “The Knowles Family, who once resided on Coco Plum Lane”! I hope they are all enjoying my heart-warming adventure story about family, courage and resilience!

“Island Surprise: A Bahamian Adventure” is available on Amazon in paperback, hardcover and as an eBook. Shortly after its release, "Island Surprise: A Bahamian Adventure" was Ranked in Amazon's Top 100 Best Sellers in Elementary School books in Australia!

Hydie is a Sustainable Development Goals Officer working collaboratively to report and accelerate the country’s awareness and development towards the SDG’s. During her time in sustainability, she has acquired advanced open water diver and certified board professional project management certifications in addition to research and project consultancy experience. In her spare time, she enjoys going on adventures, spending time with loved ones, painting masterpieces, trying new foods, watching movies and reading books. The genesis of her passion for sustainable living began right at our Bahamian coral reefs, and the rest is history. Her bio says you don’t have to be a tree hugger to contribute to sustainable development initiatives. In fact, pilots, engineers, doctors, social workers, judges, architects all can play a role too.

Hydie Knowles is also a National Youth Parliamentarian as well as a Disabilities Advocate.
