The Turtle Who Turned the Tide
£7.99
Rachel Bright and Jim Field (yes, the team behind The Lion Inside) are back, and this time it's a midnight beach, a hatching race, and a tiny turtle who has to decide whether winning matters more than turning back for the one she loves. The kind of story that sneaks up on you both.
We love it because:
- Rachel Bright's rhyming text has that rolling, irresistible rhythm that makes read-alouds genuinely enjoyable (you know, the ones where you don't secretly dread being asked again)
- Jim Field's illustrations are GORGEOUS. Rich purples, glowing midnight colours, two of the most expressive little turtle faces you've ever seen
- It wraps up themes of sibling love, bravery and the joy of doing the right thing in a story that never once feels like a lesson
- That ending. Honestly. We won't spoil it, but have a tissue nearby just in case
