Book Review: Sammy the Sailing Sea Turtle by Gwendol

 

Blurb: 

This book is a fantasy about a little sea turtle that is born different, and an "Only." These are things he is teased about by the other "littles" in Sea Turtle City society. He overcomes this teasing/bullying with the advice of his two wise friends, Rainbow, a parrot, and Magic, a dragonfly. He also makes friends with two beautiful dolphins. He learns to look for the reasons other littles are bullies. In the end, Sammy becomes an important and loved hero in his Sea Turtle society. I wrote this story to show young people today they can become more than their disabilities if they work hard and don't give up.

My Review - 4 of 5 stars - 

How to be a little sea turtle. I loved it. I enjoyed this story with its lessons in being different, hurt feelings, and doing the right thing, helping out others. Samuelson was born different than the other little turtles. As he found his way to his parents, Sea Turtle City, and school, he found unusual ways to accomplish tasks. The illustrations were beautiful and added to the story. A good story to read with your children as a family.

I received a copy of this story through Goddess Fish Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.
