With the help of an encouraging park ranger, an understanding teacher, two new companions, and a tiny turtle, Tasha finds connection with others _and_ her own voice.**This story takes place on the same class trip featured in Carmen Bogan's and Floyd Cooper's groundbreaking _Where's Rodney?,_ once again showing the power of nature to transform a child.**Beloved illustrator Floyd Cooper began the artwork for this book; his illustration mentee Daria Peoples finished them. In the back of the book, readers will learn how the book was completed following Cooper's passing in 2021 and will find two of his original sketches.
