Sand Turtles (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781420802870)

Sand Turtles is the story of a young boy, Miguel, who lives in a small fishing village in the country of Panama. He enjoys listening to his grandfather tell him stories about the sea. One day Miguel learns that sea turtles used to come to their beach and lay eggs. When he asks why he has never seen the turtles on the beach, his grandfather tells him that many years before Miguel was born, turtle hunters killed all the turtles and dug up their eggs. As he listens, Miguel sees the sadness in his grandfather's face, and he decides right then that he will bring the sea turtles back to their beach. He then begins to work on his plan to bring the turtles back, and eventually other people help him with his plan, but will it work? Can a small boy really make large sea turtles come to his beach and lay their eggs?
