Sea Turtle Rescue was the first children’s book I wrote for my daughters. Sea Turtles have become a special thing for us as well. When we are out, especially at the beach, we will buy sea turtle jewelry (for them, not me) or other mementoes that include sea turtles…because of that story.
In many ways, sea turtles are the “canary in a coal mine” for the oceans. If sea turtles are healthy and thriving, the oceans are too. And if the oceans are thriving, we are all thriving. What I really like about this story is it includes information on protecting sea turtles, while presenting two young girls as strong and passionate characters.
Below you will find descriptions of the book in all four languages, with links to the book on Amazon. You can read previous blog posts about the story:

When an injured sea turtle shows up near their home on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, Jayne and Marie, along with their friends Javier and Monique, search the beach to find the turtle’s nest and protect it from danger. They know the time is getting short and if they don’t find it soon, the eggs might not get a chance to hatch.
Sea Turtle Rescue is written for children 6-9-years-old with illustrations drawn by elementary school students. The story is exciting but also includes information on how to protect sea turtles and their nests.
