A Turtle's Hero

Little Matt looked forward to his

vacation on the beach in the Sea of Cortez. His trip ​led him to meet a magical sea turtle that took him ​on a wonderful adventure beneath the sea.


Join Matt on his journey to befriending one of ​nature's most amazing creatures and

the important lesson he learned.

Caring for our world.


Maria J. writes children’s books in English and in ​Spanish. She is a caring mother, world traveler, ​and lover of nature. When she is not collecting ​shells on the beach, she is thinking about ​releasing baby turtles out to sea and ways in ​which she can provide awareness on on how to ​help turtles thrive for future generations to ​enjoy.

Literacy changed Maria's life as a child, now ​she hopes her books will do the same for other ​children. A Turtle's Hero is a story of fun, ​adventure, and great kindness for the very ​vulnerable sea turtles.
