The Coral Families

The Coral Families by Mary Graham Bonner opens with a young coral polyp questioning its name and identity in a charming conversation with its mother. Dissatisfied with being called a polyp rather than an insect, the youngster nudges its mother into defending the family's considerable merits — their beautiful coral homes of red and pink, their namesake island, and even a curious distant relative known as the coral shoemaker. The exchange builds to a gentle, humorous conclusion about pride, perspective, and finding unexpected dignity in one's own nature.
