The book has some beautiful artwork while I love the picture of the egg nestled in the sand under the arms of the fern. As always Robin James has a way of conveying you right along with the words of the story.
I felt sorry for the little turtle as he had problems with his shell so much and yet he was eager to learn who he belong to. The book does a good job of telling you there is a difference of being such as a turtle and who you actually belong to, which is actually yourself.
A baby turtle is born and begins a search to find out who he is and who he belongs to. The illustrations in this book are simply stunning. A couple of them I would absolutely love to have on my walls. The story is a bit weird, that of the turtle trying to find himself and after a short adventure returning to the pond where he was born and find that he belong to himself.
