Turtle Books
This list is from World Turtle Day, which takes place every year on May 23. But I'm updating it now because I recently visited the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre near Peterborough, ON, and now have turtles on the brain. Plus the first book on the list, Saving Turtles, was written by Sue Carstairs, who is the veterinarian at the OTCC. The book is wonderful and inspiring—and the centre is too!
