CAROLINA’S STORY: SEA TURTLES GET SICK TOO!

Book ID/图书代码： 12610010B37216

English Summary/英文概要： Follow the photo journal of Carolina, a critically ill loggerhead sea turtle, as she is cared for and nursed back to health at the Sea Turtle Hospital of the South Carolina Aquarium. Just like hospitalized children, Carolina goes through a variety of emotions and procedures during her care and recovery process. When she first arrives at the hospital, she is too sick, weak, and confused to understand what is happening. She has blood drawn, x-rays taken, gets shots, and is fed through an IV...just as ill children may be! As she gains strength, she begins to interact with her caregivers and to, begrudgingly, understand that they are really trying to help. Join her as she interacts with her many caregivers and her sick or injured roommate turtles.

Celebrate the happy day she is released back into the open arms of the ocean - a healthy and happy sea turtle! The "For Creative Minds" section includes a craft, game ideas and information on sea turtles. The author and photographer donate a portion of their royalties to the Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Program at the South Carolina Aquarium.

She and her husband, dog and a very talkative parrot, left the cold, windy city of Chicago for the warm, sunny beach off Charleston, SC.

Barbara’s photographs also grace the book jackets and internet site of best-selling novelist, Mary Alice Monroe including Mary Alice’s award winning children’s book Turtle Summer: A Journal For My Daughter.
