A lovingly illustrated children's book about the critically endangered green sea turtle, designed to raise awareness for nature and species conservation. On a warm summer night in Costa Rica, adult sea turtles crawl ashore. They will lay many eggs, and from one of them, a little turtle will hatch. Tiny and barely larger than a hand, she will learn to navigate the currents of the ocean on her own. She will experience many adventures on her journey. This non-fiction picture book follows the little turtle from the nest to the open sea, where she swims underwater with harmless jellyfish but also encounters dangers like barracuda, tiger sharks, and plastic islands. Embedded in a gentle story, children aged four and up will discover many fascinating facts about this shelled reptile. With this book, Magellan Verlag supports the Turtle Foundation.
