This is a short story in the form of poetry that is as old as time. When a child finds something that he or she really loves - or at least finds very special - it can be hard to let go of that thing. In this case, a young kid named Johnny finds a turtle in the wild and instantly falls in love with it. But when faced with the reality of fostering an animal, Johnny begins to understand what his mother was talking about. And deep down somewhere in the abyss of friendship between Johnny and the turtle, Johnny finds something greater than life itself. This book was loosely based off of some true events in the author's life.

From the magical moment of her hatching, follow Salty the Sea Turtle as she begins her journey. This lyrical tale captures what Salty discovers as she grows from a tiny baby turtle to an adult. The life cycle repeats itself when Salty returns to that very same beach where she was born. Inspiration for Salty the Sea Turtle emerged from the author and illustrator's personal experience. Throughout the summer and into the early fall, sea turtles hatch from nests that dot the coastal beaches of southwest Florida. Each day, a park ranger searches for newly hatched clutches and documents the number of hatched eggs. One summer morning while accompanying the ranger, Randi and Claire watched as a nest was being excavated. Two tiny sea turtles struggled to free themselves. The marvel of new life so fragile and so rarely seen was captured on that morning at Barefoot Beach. It was an unforgettable experience to hold the hatchlings and set them down in the sand as they bravely made their way to the Gulf.
