The life cycle of a sea turtle is recounted in a lyrical text that focuses on her constant struggle for survival in a beautiful, but often treacherous, undersea world. Berenzy's luminous paintings, created using goauche and colored pencil on both black and white paper, give viewers a true sense of the wide expanse of life in the ocean. (Ages 3-7)

Brenda Guiberson's compelling protrait of the life cycle of a sea turtle is complemented by Alix Berenzy's striking watercolors. Parents and teachers will appreciate the accurate portrayal of the trials of an endangered animal, and children will enjoy the drama and beauty in this exquisite nature story.
