Description

The book that connects parents and children to create vacation memories with meaning!

Starla's Special Shore follows Starla, a determined mother sea turtle, on a remarkable journey back to the beach where she was born 30 years ago. It's time for her to build a nest and lay her very first eggs. Along the way, Starla faces unexpected challenges, forms and extraordinary friendship, and discovers the wonders of the world she shares with others. Join Starla's brave adventure and experience a heartwarming story that celebrates courage, friendship, and the magic of the natural world. Perfect for young readers aged 6-12 and adults who cherish storytelling with a message.

It's a great story that also includes sea turtle facts, guided activities for parents and kids, a sea turtle helper checklist to teach and encourage responsible beach behavior, as well as journal and sketch prompts to capture the memories for a lifetime.

The best part? A portion of the proceeds goes to SEE Turtles and the Billion Baby Turtles initiative.

About the Author
McClellan, Jim: - A fifth-generation native of Northwest Florida, Jim McClellan is an outdoorsman, writer, and conservationist who grew up on the Apalachicola River and spent his childhood summers in what was then the sleepy community of Mexico Beach. These experiences instilled in him a deep connection to the natural world and a passion for protecting it.Now a public relations and marketing consultant, Jim has dedicated his life to using storytelling as a tool to inspire action and awareness. His journey has brought him back to the shores and riverbanks of his youth with a much deeper appreciation for the effort it takes to preserve them for future generations. Through Starla's Special Shore, he hopes to spark a love for sea turtles and a commitment to conservation in children and families everywhere.Wilder, Lynn: - Dr. Lynn Wilder has spent her life exploring the connections between people, the environment, and the creatures that share our planet.
