You'll love, love, love this story! This author doesn't disappoint. Dee Mountcastle touches all the important points in teaching and learning such topics as bullying, meeting individual needs, and the pursuits children are passionate about-all in a lovely story. Every reader will enjoy it! -Mary Quinn, elementary teacher, K-3 A very cute story about sea turtles and bullying. The story moves quickly, focused on loggerhead turtles. After the story, a helpful lesson plan provides further information about the other six species of sea turtles, in an informational and interesting manner. Great reading for third grade and up! -Marie Gallay, elementary teacher, K-3 Winston Loves Turtles is a brilliantly written picture book which mixes lifelong learning lessons with the love of wildlife.

This story reminds me, as a schoolteacher, of the impact I can make every day with my students. -Tanya Krien, vice president Community Head Start Early Learning Program Deirdre Mountcastle writes with warmth and compassion and draws children in with a story that teaches them about themselves, the wider world around them, and the wonders of nature.
