Each year thousands of volunteers spend their summers watching over endangered loggerhead sea turtle nests. This is the journal of a young mother who assembles photographs and sketches for her daughter so she will remember the time they spent together tending turtle nests. Dedicated to all grandmothers, mothers and daughters, this scrapbook journal explains the nesting cycle of sea turtles and the natural life along the southeastern coast, including local shore birds, shells, and the sea turtle hospital. Adults and children will enjoy the inspiring original photographs and text. A "For Creative Minds" section at the end of the book offers more amazing sea turtle facts and three fun activities.
Hardcover, ages 4-8.
