The Little Turkle hatches into a world full of wonder on a barrier island off the Atlantic Coast where some people call turtles “turkles”. He must journey from his nest in the warm beach sand to the cool, foaming waters of the ocean. When Little Turkle runs into trouble, a special friend helps him on his way to the waves.
