Coconut Water

"Child, do you want to know where we came from? Child, it was new moon but the stars were so bright that it hardly mattered at all. They were all over the place, in the sky and in the water. Spangling the trees and twinkling over anthurium petals. And they were in the coconuts, a whole galaxy of them, all you had to do was peer into the holes."

On a small island, Mokokki the coconut season is in full swing. Makani has always been told not to let a single coconut go to waste. When he fails to heed the warning an island witch snatches it up and turns it human and Mokokki falls into dreadful luck.
