When the sun shines bright like a hot desert spell, Mr. Turtle feels an itch under his shell. Convinced that it's time to move out, he packs his bags and sets off on a whimsical journey to find a new place to live.

From a jagged doghouse to a dusty radio, and even a perilous dip into a birthday cake, Mr. Turtle tries it all. But he quickly learns that the world is full of strange fits; soups that burn, woodpeckers that peck, and clouds that float a little too high.

Written in delightful rhyming verse and brought to life through visual exploration, A Day Away is a story about curiosity, adventure, and the surprise of returning home. When Mr. Turtle finally rushes back to his "stiff little shell," he discovers he isn't the only one looking for a change. A surprise roommate is waiting, proving that the best home isn't a place, it's a way of being content.

Lamdan, Gefen: - Gefen Lamdan is a believer in curiosity-whether she's driving innovation as a tech leader or bringing stories to life as an artist. With two independent titles already under her belt as an illustrator, Gefen has always let her imagination roam free, drawing inspiration from a childhood spent exploring nature. Her debut picture book, A Day Away, didn't start with words, but with a spark of visual exploration that eventually found its rhythm in rhyme.The story itself has been on quite a journey. Originally written when her son, Yonatan, was just four years old, the manuscript spent nearly a decade napping in a drawer while life and career kept Gefen busy. But good stories wait for their moment. That moment arrived when Yonatan-now thirteen-teamed up with his mom to translate the book into English. This heartwarming collaboration brings the project full circle, blending Gefen's artistic vision with a family bond that proves creativity is best when shared.
