Turtle (Unabridged‪)‬

A child with multiple disabilities is teased by his schoolmates. But guess what happens?

This is a story about hurt feelings and making friends. It is about having people not liking you, even when you can do special things, just because you are different from most other kids.

Commentary from our community:

"Turtle is a moving story by a gifted musician sharing his struggles and triumphs growing up blind and autistic. Turtle helps the reader understand that each of us is unique and 'different', yet in many ways the same - we all desire self-confidence, friendship, and acceptance. (Kizzie E. Jones, author of How Dachshunds Came to Be: A Tall Tale About a Short Long Dog)

"This poignant story highlights the resilience of a young boy with disabilities and the thoughtful teacher who helped other classmates recognize his gifts. A must read for anyone who believes that everyone should be included in their community!"
