Quick Overview
In a thoughtful prose frequently imbued with a poetic tone, MacGill-Callahan chronicles the devastating environmental changes that befall this stone guardian with the passage of time.
Description
On a bluff at the bend of the river stood a turtle carved of stone. For many years he was the eyes of the Manitou, watching over and blessing the Delaware people who visited him every summer.

But as time passed, fewer children came to greet the turtle. Now he watches with sadness and fear as strangers arrive, destroy the land, and threaten his very existence. Can turtle, once a symbol of hope and renewal, be saved?

The text's quiet wisdom is reflected in Moser's exquisite watercolors.
