Recent release "Woody the Turtle" from Page Publishing author Gail Coleman is a sad but sweet story about a young boy named Marcus and his sister Annie who don't have any toys to play with; they derive most of their joy and excitement from a new pet turtle named Woody whom they receive from their grandfather's neighbor--but when Woody disappears one day, it leaves the children brokenhearted.
SEATTLE, Sept. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Gail Coleman, a children's literature writer born and raised in Washington D.C. currently residing in Seattle, Washington, has completed her new book "Woody the Turtle": a bittersweet story about fun and loss.
Author Coleman writes about the joy Woody brings the children: "There was a brother named Marcus, and he had a sister named Annie. They did not have any toys.
When they visited at their grandparents' house, the neighbor, Mr. Joe, saw them and showed them a turtle. They were glad to see it.
Then Mr. Joe asked them if they wanted the turtle, and they said yeah with excitement. He gave them the turtle and said, 'Take good care of him.'
They took the turtle home and wondered what they should name him. Annie said, 'Let's name him Woody because his shell feels like wood.'
When Marcus and Annie were home they let Woody crawl around the house.
They fed him lettuce, meat, and apples. They loved watching him eat.
They took Woody outside to play and showed him to their friends, and they too were excited."
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Gail Coleman's new book is a simple, touching story that teaches children how to deal with loss. As the young siblings come to terms with losing Woody, children will be encouraged to face their own personal losses just as maturely.
Readers who wish to experience this tender work can purchase "Woody the Turtle" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
