Turtle-Turtle and the wide, wide river  Cover Image Book Book

Turtle-Turtle and the wide, wide river / Jane and Will Hillenbrand.

Hillenbrand, Jane, (author.). Hillenbrand, Will, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"When a storm strikes, most of the animals know what to do: Skiddaddle! But Turtle-Turtle doesn’t realize he should swim away . . . until the water rises. Although he’s scared to weather it on his own, he learns that he doesn’t have to. Comforting companions Heron and Frog help Turtle-Turtle until—bit-by-bit, friend-by-friend, he finds the strength within himself to push onwards to safer shores. Rich with rhythm and read-aloud potential, Turtle-Turtle and the Wide, Wide River is a perfect bedtime book that masterfully melds an epic adventure with a reassuring ending. Drawing on their years of shared experience teaching and creating picture books, Jane & Will Hillenbrand offer readers a celebration of friendship and a gentle reminder that, even when you’re stuck on the stormiest seas, your loved ones will help you to stay afloat."
