Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In this profoundly moving fable, the earth & all its creatures are suffering, for the people will not share their Truth, which gives them happiness & power, with those who are different from them. Then one brave Little Girl seeks the wisdom of the ancient Old Turtle, who sees that the people's Truth is not a whole truth, but broken. Old Turtle shows the girl the missing part of the Truth, & the Little Girl returns with it to her people. Then the pieces are brought together, and the broken Truth is made whole at last: You are loved...and so are they. Then the people & the earth are healed.

Review:

"From his exquisite animal portraits to the saturated colors, striking interplay of light and shadow and dreamy, memorable images, the artist's work reflects a depth of emotion..." Publishers Weekly

Synopsis:

This profoundly moving fable is an inspirational companion to the timeless beauty of "Old Turtle," in which a young girl seeks the wisdom of the ancient Old Turtle to help her people. Full color.

Beautiful tale, as the wisdom of the "Old Turtle" prevails with the help of a little girl. Many kudos to the author, as well as, the illustrator, John J. Muth. A fable of love and healing for all ages!
