The Tortoise's Tale (2025)
Kendra Coulter
"In The Tortoise's Tale, Kendra Coulter reminds us that the key to empathy and understanding is to walk a mile in another creature's shell. This delightful story is all the proof we need that the human world is but a small measure of the earthly kingdom, and that every animal among us has something vital to teach us, if we can learn to listen. A book to read and reread, and a welcome source of inspiration in this era of diminishing nature."
