From the New York Times bestselling author of The Rabbit Listened, an unforgettable story of being brave and jumping into new experiences ( goodreads sumary)
Nellie, the baby sea turtle, faces a big challenge and tries to tackle her fear of jumping into the ocean for the first time. Each time she tries, the waves are just too scary for her and she finds herself running back to the safety of the sand.
This is a sweet story about being brave and learning to take those first steps trying something new. Nellie is such a cute character and seeing her build up courage to take on the giant waves will inspire kids if they too have something difficult to face. The illustrations are calm and gentle with soothing colors and the text is simple and easy to read. Little ones will want to cheer for Nellie when she finally finds the courage to overcome her fear. Nellie learned there are beautiful things and adventures waiting for her in the big unknown. It is a tender story that offers encouragement to those who are afraid to try new things and taking that first step towards something new. I think this is a "just right book" for ages 3-6.~
