Summer is the perfect time for an island adventure. You'll meet Isla Verde and her friend Fitz the Gecko when we travel to the island of Sol in this tropical new book. When Isla gets a new neighbor, she is excited for a new friend but worried about hiding her secret- she can talk to animals.  Join us to read a section of this book and make a pompom gecko like Isla's buddy, Fritz.
