Bookroo's summary

A lyrically told, beautifully illustrated book that brings comfort to children–and adults–who have lost someone they love

As the sea animals think back on how much better Old Turtle made their lives and their world, they realize that he is not truly gone, because his memory and legacy will last forever.
