Synopsis

When Shellie the turtle falls out of the backyard fountain, she's thrilled by the chance to go on an adventure, but her family is worried that she's lost and has no idea where to start looking for her!

Shellie Goes on an Adventure is the first book in the Side -by -Side Books series. These unique books are formatted to tell the same story from two points of view: in this case from that of the adventurous turtle and of her very worried family.

Side by Side Books are formatted to help children understand the perspectives of others, develop empathy, and grow their own emotional connection with others. These books are powerful tools for parents and educators to introduce young children to situations that change based on different perspectives. They provide an opportunity to discuss emotions, points of view, and differences in a fun way

About this title

About the Author

Melanie Zigman recently retired and decided to pursue her passion and write a children's book. Shellie Goes on an Adventure is based on a true story, and the Side -by -Side Books concept sprang out of a conversation around her own family turtle's harrowing escape, and how fun it must have been for the turtle, despite being so scary for her family.

When she isn't writing, Melanie enjoys kayaking, hiking, and volunteering. She lives in Collingwood, Ontario.
