The Turtle Who Did His Best - Paperback

by Rebecca Aguirre Brownlee (Author)

"The Turtle Who Did His Best" has 575 words and is a rhyming book aimed towards children approximately between the ages of 4-8. Can a meek and unnoticeable turtle face the challenges that await him when he goes up for the big contest. This book is based on the confidence one hopes to have when facing a tough situation no matter if they don't fit the part, and hopefully encourage others to do the same.

A small and simple turtle is waiting in line to be apart of a daring contest. He is surrounded by the type of turtles that take on dangerous challenges, and they seem to think he is lost. Bernadine, who wants to show him he doesn't belong, tries to slow this little fellow down and ends up cracking his shell. He makes it through, and unbelievably with the fastest time. He lets Bernadine know that it is okay, and has something to say, "I did my best" and that is what it's all about.

About the Author

My name is Rebecca Aguirre Brownlee and I am a wife and mother of three. We recently moved to a rural area in Kansas from a big city in Texas, but loving it. Reading to my children was foreign to me due to the unfamiliarity of it while I was a little girl. When I did read aloud to my children my imagination went wild and I began to create my own stories, this encouraged me to want to write children's books. I want to help release that creativity in our imagination in every person, young and old.
