Illustrated by
Jago.
Old Turtle has died, and the other sea creatures enumerate the things they will remember him for: the humpback whale will remember Turtle's friendship, the dolphins will remember his curiosity, the sea otters will remember how he made them laugh. Jago's beautiful digital illustrations of marine life swimming against richly colored ocean backgrounds are more remarkable than the sentimental text.
