Beside the Sea
Nan and me beside the sea. Is it time? Soon.
A grandmother and child eagerly await some special visitors.
However, it soon becomes rescue time when some lost baby turtles are in danger. Everyone is needed to save the day. Will they save the babies in time?
The wonder of welcoming nesting turtles ashore comes beautifully to life in this gentle story of family, community and caring for the environment.
