A lyrically told, beautifully illustrated book that helps children understand the death of a loved one. After Old Turtle swims his last swim and breathes his last breath, and the waves gently take him away, all of his friends lovingly remember how he impacted each and every one of them. As the sea animals all think back on how much better Old Turtle made their lives and their world, they realize that he is not truly gone, because his memory and legacy will last forever. Gorgeous illustrations accompany serene text in a picture book that will comfort those who lose loved ones too young. A difficult topic elegantly handled.
