Baby Honu's Incredible Journey

What a great story about a brave little turtle. My kids love all Tammy Yee's books and the Baby Honu books are their favorites.

Tammy Yee put together a very nice book on Hawaii's green sea turtle, the honu. This story really is about the adventures and trials all newly hatched sea turtles go through. When you are small, the world is full of predators! I use this book to read to first through third graders. The paintings are stylized, and cute. Can you visualize a flying honu? How about a honu dreaming in his egg? Yee integrates some Hawaiian words into the text, and provides a glossary in the back. A Hawaiian word not in the glossary is "keiki", or children. My book is inscribed "For the keiki, may you have an incredible journey!! With warm aloha, Tammy Yee." This book puts a smile on your face.
