In 'The Sand Turtle' Theadora Whittington both writes and stunningly illustrates a moving picture book story of a boy's friendship with a turtle which he creates from sand.


The Sand Turtle has a strong environmental message which is welcomed and endorsed by WWF (Hong Kong) in its valuable work concerning the plight of green turtles..



The sometimes difficult theme of loss and re-creation is also beautifully explored within this story:


Sand is a wonderful substance. You can create and re-create shapes, forms, and once in a while, miracles . . .


Join the Book Fair 2023 - English and International Reading Series for a sharing by Theadora for exploration of environmental messages in picture books as well as other important issues pertinent for our young children.
