About this title

Review:

I ordered A Boy and a Turtle based on my therapist's advice. This book is one wonderfully relaxing story that has shown my child how to relax with the turtle by using this visualization technique. My son loves the story and asked for it whenever he is over stimulated, stressed or angry. It is easy to follow along, the illustrations are adorable
