Book Synopsis

A heartwarming tale of adventure, bravery and one baby turtle who changes her world for good – from the bestselling and award-winning creators of The Lion Inside.

On a midnight-black beach, it’s time for a grand hatching. A rowdy crowd of animal onlookers have gathered to see which baby turtle will win the great race to safety in the sea.

But when Tula’s brother loses his way, this baby turtle faces a difficult choice: will she choose to win the race or will she turn back to rescue her brother? And will the other animals stay on the sidelines, or will Tula’s brave decision inspire them to join the rescue mission?

An inspiring and funny rhyming story of how we all have the power to change things for the better.

 

Our Review Panel says...

This text is another triumph from Rachel Bright and Jim Field, the duo have produced a range of captivating texts that cover a range of topics and The Turtle Who Turned the Tide is no exception.

The heartwarming and beautifully illustrated text weaves a number of topics through the captivating story of Tula and the tough decision she has to make. The story is set on the night of the grand hatching. Tula is set to win the race to the sea, until she notices that her brother Tiny has lost his way. Tula makes the decision to help and faces danger as she rushes to his side.

This book is a perfect tool for discussions about bravery, teamwork, kindness and doing the right thing. It could also be used as a lead in to discussions about environmental awareness and the impact humans can have on natural events.

All in all, a lovely, bright and enjoyable addition to class and home libraries.
