Old Turtle: Questions of the Heart

56 pp. | Scholastic | March, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-0-439-32111-2 $19.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Greg Ruth. With questions in their hearts, a group of people of various ages and races searches for Old Turtle. Upon finding her, each asks a question--about purpose, happiness, evil, and more--and the giant turtle sagely responds. Warm-toned, dreamlike pencil, watercolor, and digital illustrations reflect the hopeful words, but (as with previous Old Turtle books) the appeal to children is limited.
