Blog Item ID: #14369Toco the Turtle: Lost in Grande Riviere (English/Spanish)After laying her eggs, Toco the leatherback sea turtle has an adventure on her way back to the sea. This story was inspired by the plight of the leatherback sea turtle in the Caribbean and is told through pictures that highly match the text. This story is written by Kristine Conley-Brockie. The beautiful digital art was produced by Edward C. Rooks, a wildlife illustrator and naturalist. This is his second children’s book.
This English and Spanish edition is written at the 2rd grade level. The Spanish translation, by Ms. Gina Covello, is a faithful retelling of the same story using the pictures. Information about Trinidad and Tobago and leatherback sea turtles is included at the end of the book. Special thanks to Drs .Karen and Scott Eckert for checking the facts about turtle behavior. |
