Books with author Heidi Lynn Studer

In this delightful, truth-telling historical book, Perham's mascot, Squirtle the Turtle, shares about the past forty years of International turtle racing in Perham, Minnesota. Through rhyme and rhythm, the reader will view archived photos, meet Squirtle's five audacious friends, and learn what takes place on summer Wednesday mornings in downtown Perham. All six of the unique and genuine characters were created by local teen artists. Each character relays true and interesting facts about the turtles that are raced locally. The book was written in scrapbook format, including a page for a selfie or two, and concluding with journal pages for readers to share their own "TURTLE TALES" experience. May this book be a lifetime treasure of shared memories and precious moments for you and your family. God bless you and keep you.

Squirtle the Turtle, known as Perham's most famous mascot racing turtle, along with his five audacious friends, make their second debut in this whimsical, historical, commemorative book. Together they go on a field trip sharing all about their true-to-life adventure while unveiling some fun facts along the way. What makes this rhyming book appealing is not only the authentic photos but the illustrations depicting the friends' adventure that have been drawn exclusively for TURTLE TALES 2 by a local teen artist. As my oldest grandson often reminds me, "Teamwork makes the dream work!" Oh, so true! Creating this family-friendly book took a talented team working well together toward a common goal--a true blessing. May you and your family be inspired to take some time to "pond" er something you could do to reach out and make your corner of the world a little bit brighter. God bless you!
