Turtle on the Tarmac

A Picture Book

A charming picture book adventure from award-winning author Annette Bay Pimentel and rising-star illustrator Yusuke Watanabe about a turtle trying to cross an airport runway and a little girl who spots her just in time

It’s nearly time for takeoff! The bags are stowed, the seatbelts are fastened, and the pilot is ready. But wait, what does the little girl see out her window? There’s a turtle on the runway!

Turtle on the Tarmac is a delightful picture book adventure that takes readers on parallel journeys as a child prepares for a flight and a diamondback terrapin looks for a place to lay her eggs.

Inspired by the real-life work of wildlife biologists at John F. Kennedy Airport, this is a heartwarming celebration of conservation, perfect for little travelers and animal lovers everywhere.
