"In a collection of eight short stories, children on islands around the world make connections to nature while facing life-changing events. Each child experiences a significant emotional turning point at the same time they encounter a turtle--real or imagined. A prologue tells of a sea turtle that was tracked making an extraordinarily long journey, while an epilogue is written from that turtle's point of view. Back matter shares information about sea turtles and snapping turtles."-- - Ingram Publishing Services

Eight beautifully evocative short stories from the pen of Governor Generalâs Award finalist Michelle Kadarusman
On islands around the worldâfrom Manhattan to Georgian Bay to Komodo Island and beyondâeight children face life-changing moments: escaping a flood; embracing their identity; discovering that they do not stand alone. And although each child couldnât be more different, one thing connects them all: a turtle swam into each of their lives at a critical moment, and left them changed.
Author Michelle Kadarusman has lived and travelled all around the world, and her elegant writing captures the spirit of the places that have left their mark on her. In We the Sea Turtles, she explores relevant themes like eco-anxiety, natural disaster, and how people ground themselves when theyâve been uprooted. One way, as this collection shows, is to tell ourselves stories: stories that make sense of life.
