a very good story teaching children the importance of protecting the environment
This book delivers a very important message to young children - we need to protect the environment! It’s crucial to teach the concept when they are young. Our family just saw sea turtle babies in Costa Rica last Summer. We’re so excited to find this book! My 6-year-old loves it! We had great discussions when reading it!

Important lessons for our children
I’m thrilled to find books that teach children about our planet and it’s diverse life forms! This story is about ocean creatures and dangerous pollution. It is a tale of kindness and the importance of following one’s own path. Delightful illustrations too! I look forward to reading the other books in this series.

Beautiful and Educational Book
This is such a beautiful and educational book for kids. It follows a cute little turtle on her way to lay eggs on the beach, but on the way, she encounters an oil spill and saves her friends (the other sea creatures). It’s a great way to educate children on the fragility of our ecosystem, while also entertaining them with the sweet story.

Amazing book!
I'm in love with the beautiful illustrations, so magical and at the time, such an important message to share with the children! Oil spills are definitely a huge problem and destroy life in the oceans. Spreading awareness about this environmental issue is essential.
