Everyone is a turtle in Turtletown. So Teeny thinks she must be a turtle, too. But when Teeny sprouts feathers, she begins to wonder… is there a teeny possibility she’s a… BIRTLE? 

Tootie loves tag, but the other turtles in Turtletown don’t like to play. That is, until Tootie meets Teeny. Teeny LOVES tag. They have tons in common! Except one BIG thing . . . Teeny may not be a turtle at all.

This is a very sweet, charming, and wholesome graphic novel about friendship, acceptance, and belonging. A turtle and a bird become fast friends but begin to see differences between each other. They are both very accepting of each other, which creates a stronger bond between the two of them. It has great messaging without being preachy. It shows how to accept differences in a kind, compassionate way. There is also quite a bit of humor throughout the story. I found myself laughing out loud a few times because of their silly thoughts and conclusions about things. 

The illustrations are beautiful and adorable. If you like the color purple, which I do (it’s my favorite color), then you’ll love this art style. It’s also a very easy, quick read. I read it in about 10 minutes, so if you need a palate cleanser that won’t take too much time, this is a great one to pick up. 

I also think kids would really enjoy this graphic novel. It would be perfect for classrooms or libraries, or for parents to read at bedtime. Definitely recommend!
