Powers, Julie Ann

Abstract:

Powers discusses these fascinating collectibles, which are really seeds from tropical vines, plants, and trees. They fall from rain forests into waters that carry them into the ocean. From there the beans float hundreds of miles, taking months, sometimes years, to reach shore. Cape Lookout is a prime area for sea bean searchers.
