Jacob Grant, author of UMAMI, NO PANTS!, and NO FAIR! is back with a sweet and beautiful picture book about a turtle who needed a little extra time in her shell before sprinting across the sand to the sea--TURTLE SLEPT IN!
With Bird to help her, Turtle (spoiler alert) traverses the busy beach and heads into the big sea. We cannot wait for you and your family to fall in love with Turtle and her search for her family!
Jacob will join us at Booked for a pajama storytime and draw-along, a turtle egg hunt, and book signing! This event is free, but please RSVP here.
Turtle is the last to hatch, and her siblings have all left for the sea. Now she must venture across a busy beach and into the waves to find them. But the sea is big. REAL BIG.
Now she must journey across the beach and navigate shoddy sandcastles, stomping feet, and hungry seagulls to reach the water.
Lucky for Turtle, she's not alone. Bird will do her best to keep Turtle safe along the way, but it's not the dangers of the beach that worry Turtle. The closer Turtle gets to the sea, the bigger it looks, and the more she wonders if she can ever find her family in something so big.
