George H. Balazs, global independent sea turtle scientist "… an inspiring ecological tale which celebrates the richness of marine life" Child Education "This is exactly the kind of book which will engage children's interest and inspire a sense of wonder about the world." School Librarian"A beguiling look at the breeding process of Japanese sea turtles, who lay their eggs on land yet live in the ocean. Hushed, lavender-hued pictures befit the tone of the understated story; mottled backgrounds cast a quiet spell, as does the sagacious old man who appears to understand more than just turtles." * Kirkus Reviews *“Realistic drawings suffused with gold, blue, or lavender depict the changing moods of the sea and its varied inhabitants, from starfish to whales. An evocative, gentle book that celebrates life on the shore with events and language very young children can appreciate.” * School Library Journal *"The delicate sensitivity of the narrative is matched by the pale washed colours of the images, changing from daylight to dusk to night, and from sand to sea. The message of this engaging story is underlined by an information section at the end of the book about loggerhead turtles and the importance of conservation. This is an ideal book for introducing young children to the importance of conservation, and showing something of life in Japan, but it is also a book about friendship and care." * Just Imagine *"We are pleased to see the re-publication of Turtle Bay by Saviour Pirotta, 25 years after its initial introduction to the world.

Bearing a hugely important message, this book can now inspire a new generation of readers." * Federation of Children's Book Groups *"This picture book is beautifully illustrated and tells the story of two friends who help to clean up the beach near their home in Japan to help the sea turtles who want to lay their eggs in the clean sand...this book is one that younger children will enjoy listening to and older independent readers can enjoy reading themselves too. We recommend the story for 6- 8 year olds but younger children will pour over the details in the pictures too." * Books Up North *

Yosemite Conservancy Fire Shapes the World
Book Synopsis“A nuanced portrayal of fire as a force to be respected.”—Publishers WeeklyLife as we know it evolved with fire; there is no us without it. With lyrical text grounded in the latest research, this picture book shares the primal connection between all living things and fire. Children will understand that everything they know in the world has evolved with fire.There is comfort in understanding the natural processes taking place all around. By learning the story of fire and how it has changed this planet, this book also addresses the question: Can we adapt to an increasingly fire-prone environment? This answer is: Yes. Because we always have. FIRE SHAPES THE WORLD is both a natural history and a child-friendly portrayal of fire ecology. It is also an encouraging springboard for conversation illuminated by breathtaking paintings, which will allow children to explore their connection to this most elemental agent of change.Trade ReviewPublishers Weekly, May 2023: “Somewhere on Earth,/ a fire smolders./ Witness its smoke/ and glow/ and power.” Cooke urges appreciation for fire’s fundamental role in shaping ecosystems in this poetic exploration. “Life as we know it evolved with fire,” text informs as it evokes how fauna, flora, and humans alike have responded to the way fire ravages and renews. Employing painterly layers of color, Li and Renžina fill spreads with the golden reds, oranges, and yellows of fire. Early scenes focused on prehistoric burns (“The oldest known wildfire smoldered 420 million years ago”) have a freewheeling, uncontrolled energy, while later pictures of people—including early humans portrayed with brown skin, and contemporary firefighters and campers of different skin tones—appear more static. Together, the creators offer a nuanced portrayal of fire as a force to be respected. Ages 4–8.Foreword Reviews, March/April 2023: "The book encourages understanding of all aspects of fire, from the destructive to the life-giving."Midwest Book Review, February 2023: "Entertaining, informative, thought-provoking, and having a special appeal to young readers with an interest in prehistory and the evolution of human society/culture, "Fire Shapes the World" is a unique, original, and very special addition to family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library picture book collections for children ages 4-8."
