This tale of a lonely turtle who comes out of his shell to find friendship and community celebrates diversity and inclusion. </b> <p/> When a solitary turtle decides to make some renovations to his shell, he doesn't have a blueprint, only a dream for a better life. He starts by building a deck--though he figures the deck could use a fireplace. And a fireplace needs wood, so naturally, he plants a garden. But it isn't really a garden without a pond . . . Soon, Turtle can barely recognize his own shadow. <p/> Finally satisfied with the intricate world upon his back, word begins to spread of the magical "Town of Turtle," attracting newcomers from far and wide. All are welcome in Turtle's town, where life is a little less lonely, if only you come out of your shell.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Elegant language, childlike logic, and enthralling art invite readers into a marvelous community."--<i>School Library Journal</i> <p/> "Thoughtful, thought-provoking, and filled with engaging language."--<i>Kirkus</i> <p/> "Expressionist spreads, drawn not for laughs but with a sense of wonder."--<i>Publishers Weekly, </i>STARRED review<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Michelle Cuevas</b> is the author of <i>The Uncorker of Ocean Bottles, </i> illustrated by Caldecott Medalist Erin E.
