Book Synopsis

Little Turtle loves the ocean with her whole heart. As the years pass, she repeats an incredible journey across the world to the beautiful coral reefs.
But one day she finds that plastic has invaded her ocean. Could Turtle’s journey be over forever?

Our Review Panel says...

This is a wonderful book to introduce the theme of the danger of plastic pollution to young children while providing them with a story that is full of heart. The story is perfect for reading aloud as children hear the rhythm and sounds of the ocean as the reader travels with Little Turtle. Becky Davies’s writing has a beautiful, lyrical quality to it and Jennie Poh’s engaging mixed media illustrations help to show, in turns, the beauty and then the dramatic and unwelcome changes to Little Turtle’s beloved ocean…
