This is a companion book to Mary Alice Monroe's adult
novel,
Swimming Lessons, (Mira), the sequel to The Beach House. In
the novel, the readers witness a young mother, Toy, writing
a journal for her daughter, Little Lovie. Turtle Summer: A
Journal for my Daughter is the journal Toy is writing. Using
original photographs, this scrapbook journal explains the
nesting cycle of sea turtles and the natural life along the
southeastern coast, including local shore birds, shells, and
the sea turtle hospital. Adults and children will enjoy the
images, information and journal with or without the novel.
This heartwarming journal shares the joys of a mother and
daughter’s special bond and their summer together as Turtle
Team volunteers. Photographs blend with nature art and
prose to bring to life this loving story of their time
together protecting endangered loggerheads. For children
of all ages.
