The Snow-White Sea Turtle

Meet Carmen - the rarest turtle in the ocean! Born snow-white on the golden shores of Sri Lanka, Carmen is an albino green sea turtle unlike any other. While his siblings blend into the sea, Carmen glows like a ghost beneath the waves. Too precious and too vulnerable to survive alone, Carmen finds a forever friend in Dudley, a dedicated conservationist at the Kosgoda Sea Turtle Conservation Project.From a tiny hatchling in a leathery egg to the beloved star of his sanctuary tank, Carmen's journey is one of resilience, kindness, and the power of community. When the sanctuary faces a crisis, volunteers travel all the way from England to help - and a little white turtle becomes a symbol of hope for sea turtles everywhere.Packed with fun facts about albinism, turtle navigation, and ocean conservation, The Snow-White Sea Turtle is a true-story-inspired picture book that teaches children about being different, showing compassion, and protecting our planet's wildlife. Perfect for young animal lovers, classroom read-alouds, and families who care about the environment.A portion of this book's story supports real-world sea turtle conservation efforts.
