Book: Turtle Tide

Step into the wondrous world of sea turtles and discover one of nature’s most extraordinary life cycles! In Turtle Tide: The Ways of Sea Turtles, you’ll follow a mother turtle as she swims to shore under the moonlit sky. There, she digs a safe nest in the sand, lays one hundred precious eggs, and, following the call of instinct, gently covers them before making her way back to the sea. But this is only the beginning of the tale! What happens next, from eggs to hatchlings, is a breathtaking journey of survival, where nature's balance plays out in stunning detail. Some eggs will nourish other creatures, while those that survive face a perilous dash to the ocean, only to confront new challenges from hungry birds and crabs. With its lyrical text and dramatic paintings, this award-winning book offers young readers a captivating look at the miraculous process of turtle birth and the incredible odds these hatchlings must overcome to survive.
