Montana Book Company welcomes Sy Montgomery—National Book Award finalist of The Soul of an Octopus—and acclaimed wildlife artist Matt Patterson to celebrate the publication of The True and Lucky Life of a Turtle.The bestselling and Sibert Honor–winning creators of The Book of Turtles bring us the true story of a snapping turtle’s extraordinary journey—and the amazing conservationists who helped give him a second chance. This feel-good, gorgeously illustrated story about beating the odds is the true story of a very lucky turtle.
His story began long ago when he was hatched from a very small egg on an autumn day. After decades of traveling between his summer pond behind the firehouse and his winter pond across the street, he never could have guessed that on one October day he would become unlucky. The amazing friends and challenges he met along the way are all chronicled in this tribute to the resilience and good luck of a dear turtle friend, a very lucky turtle indeed.
The amazing friends and challenges he met along the way are all chronicled by the Sibert Honor–winning duo behind The Book of Turtles in this tribute to the resilience and good luck of their dear friend, a very lucky turtle indeed.
With our friends in conservation joining us from Montana Wild, readers of all ages will be engaged in not just a story about resilience and care, but will learn about turtles and conservation with turtle shells on display for education and interaction.
We hope you'll join us for this free and fun event for all ages.
