Book Synopsis



From the New York Times bestselling author of The Rabbit Listened, an unforgettable story of being brave and jumping into new experiences

When Nellie the sea turtle hatched, she was on a beach surrounded by lots of her brothers and sisters. Soon all the other turtles joyfully ran into the ocean and swam away, but Nellie? She was too scared. The ocean was loud, it was deep, and it was unknown. She stayed on the safe, dry sand instead.

But when night starts to fall and it gets too dark and cold for a tiny little sea turtle on land, Nellie realizes that if she looked past the scary crashing waves, there's actually a whole world out there, just waiting for her to jump in.



Review Quotes




"Working in friendly cartoons with sponge-textured, pastel hues, Doerrfeld (Goodnight School) imbues the sentiment that "the only way out is through" with deep empathy, proof once again of her exceptional talent in buoying characters--and readers--in the face of turbulent emotional waters." --Publishers Weekly

"In this sweet story, scary things may remain scary, but pushing past them yields enormous rewards." --Kirkus

"A lovely tale of finding courage when embracing new adventures, just right for the early elementary shelves." --School Library Journal
