Hawksbill Promise: The Journey of an Endangered Sea Turtle (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780884484301)

Mary Beth Owens was inspired by her admiration and concern for these critically endangered animals to write and illustrate this beautiful book. The narrator--a craggy, ancient jumby tree that stands sentinel over the bay--observes a hawksbill's arrival by night, her arduous trek to excavate a nest and bury her eggs, her solitary return to the sea, and the later diaspora of her hatchlings. Spare prose complements pages saturated with Caribbean color or brooding in ghostly moonlight.
