I absolutely loved this charming children’s bedtime story about sea turtles. Written in rhyming verse with gorgeous illustrations, it chronicles baby sea turtles hatching from eggs and “following the moon” to get to their mama in the sea. (I am a sucker for tiny smiling sea turtles.) This was a very relaxing and soothing story that shared the natural journey of baby turtles making their way from their nesting area in the sand out to sea. I would imagine it being highly requested at bedtime from young turtle lovers!

Nola by Stephanie Lisa Tara is such a touching book that I wanted to cry after reading it knowing it was based on a real rhino and she died during the creation of this book. The real Nola and only a couple of other white rhinos are all there is left! I looked online and searched the sad history. I am glad there is a book out that may get kids to feel tenderness toward animals and want to not pouch or kill animals for their skins or horns or for trophies. Here is a article of Nola with a picture of her and her death and it's impact. https://www.wired.com/2015/11/death-endangered-rhino-leaves-three-world/.
