Note: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.The story begins with a narrative telling children that turtles are hatched without their mothers and fathers present. The young turtles must make their way from the beach to the water. This treacherous trek is filled with adventure, as the author tells the story of Hatchling, a young turtle, hunting for its parents. Hatchling meets birds, snakes, fish, lily pads, ducks and other sea creatures during its search for its parents.I found the name "Hatchling" to be poignant, since a baby turtle without parents wouldn't know its name, and wouldn't even have a name. This book tells the story of all of the children who don't have loving parents and who are lost in the foster care systems, trying to find their way on their own.I highly recommend this book for small children.
