This World Turtle Day, purchase a storybook with a difference to help support the Kelly Tarlton’s Marine Wildlife Trust in their endeavour to help care for sea turtles in the wild.

 

This gorgeous story, written and illustrated by Kirsty Esson – artist, turtle lover and SEA LIFE team member – tells true the story of Calvin, a turtle that came into the care of our Turtle Hospital.

 

The stunningly illustrated bedtime story explores the dangers that turtles face in the wild and how Calvin was cared for and released back into the wild.

 

Touching on themes of adventure, hardship, courage and the nurturing care of those who looked after Calvin, this story is for any children who love turtles and want to learn how they too can help these majestic creatures in the wild.
