CBC Showcase: Nonfiction Picture Books
The heartwarming photographic tale of a critically ill sea turtle as she is nursed back to health and happily returns to her home in the ocean.
by Donna Rathmell, illustrated by Barbara Bergwerf
Follow the photographic journal of Carolina, a critically ill loggerhead sea turtle, as she is nursed back to health at the Sea Turtle Hospital of the South Carolina Aquarium. When she first arrives at the hospital, she is too sick, weak, and confused to understand what is happening. She has blood drawn, x-rays taken, gets shots, and is hydrated through an IV . . . just as ill children may be! An educational supplement is included in the back of the book which includes teaching trivia, conservation issues, a make-your-own sea turtle craft, and sea turtle math games.
