A mother turtle swims to the shore, she digs a hole in the sand dune where she lays one hundred eggs. Following her instincts, she covers the eggs with sand and slowly makes her way back to the sea. What happens next, from eggs to hatchlings, is one of the most extraordinary occurrences in nature. This title offers lyrical text and dramatic paintings that give young readers an understanding of how turtles give birth and how the young fight for survival.
