Illustrated by
Lee Christiansen.
Softly realistic pastel illustrations depict the many dangers--and helping hands--a young sea turtle encounters when hatching from her sandy nest, living in the ocean, and returning to her home beach to lay eggs. The labored titular refrain disrupts the otherwise melodic telling, which demonstrates that human assistance, however small, can make a difference in endangered species' survival.
