"A charming story introducing the underworld of the ocean through the eyes of a young child and her turtle guide. The illustrations are sublime and perfectly reflect the author's intention to open the eyes of the reader to the beauty of the sea"
- Andrew Stevenson, whale citizen scientist, award-winning filmmaker, and author of "Whale Song: Journeys into the Secret Lives of the North Atlantic Humpbacks"
I really encourage you to follow Stella in our beautiful blue Bermudian waters. It is the ideal first plunge discovering the ocean, the coral reefs, and its inhabitants through her eyes. We are very fortunate here in Bermuda to have a healthy reef and initiatives like this book to support conservation projects play a big role in helping keep it that is way. Super cute story and beautiful illustrations, they will make you feel like you are there! And who knows, it may inspire you to put your mask and fins on and go check it out for yourself! Thank you Émilie!
