Pearls in the Sand: Protecting Sea Turtles in Oaxaca

From the author and illustrator of the Ezra Jack Keats honor recipient Benito Juárez Fights for Justice, comes a deeply heartfelt picture book about sea turtle conservation efforts in Oaxaca, Mexico.

Papá Grande was once a sea turtle poacher but now he spends his days and nights caring for these endangered creatures. From greeting the turtles on the beach to protecting their eggs in the carefully constructed hatchery, there's always something to do to help these turtles fight against looming extinction. With elegant text, lush illustrations, and detailed backmatter this book is the perfect way to introduce little ones to sea turtle conservation, ocean habitats and animal life cycles.
