Sherman the Turtle

By Jeramie Tarr - Illustrated by Grandma Pea

On a quiet beach under a glowing full moon, a very special baby sea turtle hatches-and instead of heading straight for the sea, he follows the scent of popcorn and the sparkle of carnival lights.

Meet Sherman: curious, brave, and just a little bit hungry.

Join Sherman and a cheerful shorebird friend as they journey through sand dunes and seaweed, dodge flip-flops and beach towels, and discover the joy of adventure, friendship, and finding your own path.

This heartwarming picture book celebrates:

Curiosity and wonder

Unexpected friendships

The magic of exploring the world

A gentle reminder that the ocean will still be waiting when you're ready

Perfect for readers ages 4-8, Sherman the Turtle features:

A beautifully illustrated story with rich, engaging language

Bonus nonfiction pages about real baby sea turtles

A note from Sherman and bios from the author and illustrator

Whether read at bedtime, in classrooms, or during a beach-themed storytime, Sherman the Turtle invites readers to slow down, look around, and discover that adventure can begin anywhere-even in the footprints we leave behind.

For fans of gentle adventure stories like The Curious Garden and A House for Hermit Crab Sherman's story is one you'll want to return to again and again.
