Little Turtle and the Changing Sea

Little Turtle and the Changing Sea is about a little turtle and it starts right after she hatches from her egg on the beach and is heading to the ocean. Once she gets into the ocean, she sees lots of pretty things, like colorful fish, moving seagrass, and other animals, too. Little turtle grows up and is still swimming to her home on the other side of the world. Little turtle makes this trip lots of times, but one time she goes, she notices that things are different in the water- there is trash and she gets caught in a net! Some divers free her and clean up the mess where she is at, and then the ocean is pretty and clean again.

This story is kind of sad that the water had to start out being pretty, but then change to being dark, scary, and sad to swim through for the animals. At the end of the book, it talks about garbage and plastic in the water and on the ground. I want to keep the animals safe, so I will try hard not to leave any trash on the ground or let it fly into water-instead I will use the trash can or recycle.
