Lefty the Loggerhead Turtle

"Go Lefty, Go Lefty!" Lee County Florida students chant as they participate in a story play of the children's book Lefty the Loggerhead Turtle. They have witnessed "Lefty's" life from a small hatchling seeking the moonlight to a mature turtle forced to cope with the loss of a front flipper.

What is it the physically challenged Canadian suggests as a solution that has many shaking their heads in disbelief? Can a prosthesis-yes, a prosthesis, return the crippled sea turtle to the life he once knew? Sounds incredible, but adults will join their children and cheer! Everyone wishes the loveable sea creature will meet his own life's challenges and return to his ocean paradise at Bahia Honda State Park in the Florida Keys.

This compelling children's book will easily become the hands-on favorite for those who know a winner and cheer for his success.
