My Walk To The Water Elizabeth Belenchia

This mother sea turtle was born on a Carolina barrier island. She returns to make her nest. Her guidance to beach visitors is vividly illustrated to capture the scenes that occur. Children learn to share nature with its historic inhabitants. They can teach parents and friends how to "Put the Beach to Sleep at Night," the time that mother turtles nest and hatchlings emerge to "Walk to the Water". This will enhance the beach experience for all ages.
