+ Resident plants seeds for ‘Tommy the Tree’
Longboat Key resident Nick Kovalakides always felt sad when he drove past Christmas tree lots on Christmas Day. They were filled with trees that hadn’t sold and were destined to become waste. So, he has written a children’s book, “Tommy the Tree,” that tells the story of five-year-old Tommy and his quest to become a Christmas tree. To purchase a copy, e-mail Kovalakides at [email protected].
