Tolly the Turtle: A Heart Big Enough for Two Islands is a heartfelt children’s picture book about love, family, and learning to feel safe when home looks different than before.
Tolly lives happily with both Mom and Dad until one big storm changes everything and her island home becomes two. Suddenly, Tolly feels like she must choose between the people she loves most. With help from Wise Old Ray, Spotty, and a thoughtful “Plan for Peace,” Tolly learns that love is not about choosing sides—it is about connection, courage, communication, and knowing that her heart is big enough for both homes.
Set against a vibrant Caribbean backdrop, this gentle story helps children understand separation, shared homes, big emotions, routines, and healthy coping skills. The book also includes a coloring activity, discussion questions, and helpful ideas for parents and caregivers.
