HAVANA, Fla. – August 4, 2026 –<\/strong> Debut author Sally Coleman Boddery<\/a> has announced the release of The Legend of Lizards Leap<\/em>, a children’s book inspired by her lifelong passion for nature and decades of observing wildlife. Drawing from a real-life encounter in Havana, Florida, the story encourages young readers to embrace perseverance, creativity, and respect for the natural world.<\/p>\n

Set around a tranquil neighborhood pond, The Legend of Lizards Leap<\/a> follows Larry Lizard, a hardworking entrepreneur who operates a food delivery service for the pond’s animal community. When new neighbors unexpectedly block his usual route, Larry must find an innovative solution to overcome the obstacle and continue serving his customers. His journey highlights themes of resilience, determination, leadership, and problem-solving.<\/p>\n

Boddery spent more than 35 years teaching biology, an experience that shaped her appreciation for ecosystems and wildlife. The inspiration for the story came after watching a small Anole lizard successfully leap across a waterfall—an everyday moment that became the foundation for a tale celebrating courage, adaptability, and the wonders of nature.<\/p>\n

The story also offers educational value by introducing young readers to the importance of protecting local habitats and recognizing the remarkable behaviors of even the smallest creatures.<\/p>\n

Written primarily for children and early teen readers, the book also appeals to families, educators, and nature enthusiasts who appreciate stories inspired by real-world experiences. As Boddery’s debut publication, The Legend of Lizards Leap<\/em> reflects her commitment to inspiring curiosity and environmental awareness through storytelling.<\/p>\n

The Legend of Lizards Leap<\/a> is now available in paperback and Kindle eBook formats on Amazon.<\/p>\n
