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.
