Publisher's Synopsis
Thalassia's Story tells the true story of a green sea turtle. One day she was struck by a boat and left to float in the sea, unable to move her back flippers or dive for food. She was rescued and brought to the Georgia Sea Turtle Center on Jekyll Island, Georgia. The Center provided nutrition and medical treatment, and then she was ready to fly in her own special plane to a permanent home at the Oklahoma Aquarium in Jenks, Oklahoma. This book includes original watercolor illustrations and is designed for reading to children age 5-7. In addition to the story, it provides general information on green sea turtles, the Georgia Sea Turtle Center, and the Oklahoma Aquarium, plus a list of other learning resources on sea turtles.
