Follow the Moon Home: A Tale of One Idea, Twenty Kids, and a Hundred Sea Turtles

Philippe Cousteau, Deborah Hopkinson

Vivienne and Clementine develop a community project to help loggerhead sea-turtle hatchlings reach the ocean. The girls work to make sure the young turtles follow moonlight rather than artificial light created by people. Their efforts focus on protecting turtle babies from this human-made hazard and on helping them find the water after hatching. The story connects a local idea with care for sea life.
