Publisher's Synopsis
✨A gentle tale with a shining shell and a mighty message.✨
In a sunlit Florida glade by a roadside pond, Terry the turtle keeps to himself-slow, steady, and a little shy. His dazzling painted shell draws stares, whispers, and worried glances. But when danger creeps near and the forest creatures need help crossing the busy road, Terry's twinkle becomes a beacon of bravery.
From the author of The Song of the Shimmering Bird and Flicker and the Forest Rescue, this heartwarming picture book celebrates:
The quiet strength in going slow
The beauty of being different
And the courage to lead in your own way
With lyrical rhymes, whimsical illustrations, and real-life inspiration from Florida's gentle gopher tortoise, this tale is perfect for readers ages 3-8 and the grownups who love them.
