Complete with original photographs and sketches, this heartwarming journal shares the joys and memories of a turtle team mother and her daughter's Turtle Summer. Every year thousands of volunteers protect endangered sea turtles nests. Turtle team members do all they can to increase the odds of survival for the eggs laid on ?their? beach. They spend their summers watching and caretaking the nests and enjoying the nature around them. The ?For Creative Minds? section helps children learn more about sea turtle life cycle and conservation; identify shells, and write their own nature journal. This IS the journal described in Swimming Lessons, the sequel to NY Times bestselling novel, The Beach House.
