“This book has so much to offer, delightful illustrations, interesting characters, and easy to read short stories. I really loved the caring interactions between the two sibling tortoises. The Turtle Talks at the end of each tale were my favorite parts of the book; the open-ended questions truly help the reader reflect on how to apply the story to their own lives. I hope the author continues to write stories about the tortoise siblings and their many adventures as they grow. I would strongly suggest this book to anyone with young children and for those looking for a quick read!”

“I really enjoyed reading about these two sibling tortoises who were always kind to one another and looked out for others as well. My favorite part was the “Turtle Talk” at the end of each chapter where the author turns the conversation back to the reader and asks open ended questions. I think this would make a great bedtime book and open up conversations with your child(ren).”

“This is a great interactive read for kids and adults who are young at heart. I enjoyed the end of each chapter - the "turtle talk" section which allows for the interaction, thinking about what you just read, and being able to talk about the topics and how you might be experiencing them too. How the two siblings help each other out is nice to see and read. Looking forward to the next adventure.”

“My daughters and I have read Turtle Tales a couple of times and now it is one of their go-to books when they have to time to read by themselves. They like how every story has a meaning. It’s like a mini book of virtues. Turtle Tales takes us through the seasons of the year with fun, relatable stories of the moments that life is made of. We tend to live such busy, and perhaps isolated, lives these days, and the seasons of life can pass us by so quickly. This book reminds us of the beautiful, simple basics of a happy life: faith, family, tradition, patriotism, friendship, work, and gratitude.”

“I bought this book to support a local, first time author, and was not disappointed. Even reading it as an adult, it makes you stop and think about things in life from a child's perspective; it reminds you to think about others, love those around you, and find gratitude for the memories you hold dear. Each chapter is based on the author's experiences with her kids in each month of the year. At the end of each chapter is a question that can be discussed with the whole family like remembering a holiday tradition or a time you helped a friend or sibling. Really great book, highly recommend!”
