Turtle’s Song
By Kim Michelle Toft
Illustrated by Alan Brown
For ages 5+
I am a Turtle. My eyes are black, my shell is green. Wide ocean calls me, as I lie curled in the dark. Tides roar in my blood, surf pounds in my heart.
A lyrical journey of the life of a Green Turtle from hatchling beneath the sand of a coral beach, through wanderings at sea, to adulthood and returning to lay eggs of its own.
Award winning illustrator Kim Toft’s magnificent silk painting perfectly capture the precarious life of the Green Turtle, while author Alan Brown’s poignant, mythical story sounds a hymn to this ancient but now endangered creature.

Why picture books?
Picture books cover a diverse range of topics, expose children to words and language they might not hear normally in conversation, and teach children how reading works (left to right, top to bottom). While picture books might be too hard for early readers to read by themselves at first, the books are not too hard to understand. Reading picture books with your child will inspire them to learn to read on their own, and experience the pleasure of reading.
