When a man stops to rescue a turtle from the middle of the road, he creates a ripple effect of events, reminding us that even the smallest act of kindness can have far-reaching results. Laurie Parker once again brings us into her world of beautifully clever words in perfect rhythm woven around her colorful and whimsical collage artwork.

It happened one June
  on the quiet Natchez Trace:
The start of a chain of events
  that took place.
With one act of kindness,
  that's how it began—
A good deed performed
  by a good-hearted man.

The Turtle Saver is a fun and inspirational book for young and old to treasure.  It IS a treasure...with every verse that is read.
