A Day Away: The Adventure of Mr. Turtle

When the sun shines bright like a hot desert spell, Mr. Turtle feels an itch under his shell. Convinced that it's time to move out, he packs his bags and sets off on a whimsical journey to find a new place to live.

From a jagged doghouse to a dusty radio, and even a perilous dip into a birthday cake, Mr. Turtle tries it all. But he quickly learns that the world is full of strange fits; soups that burn, woodpeckers that peck, and clouds that float a little too high.

Written in delightful rhyming verse and brought to life through visual exploration, A Day Away is a story about curiosity, adventure, and the surprise of returning home. When Mr. Turtle finally rushes back to his "stiff little shell," he discovers he isn't the only one looking for a change. A surprise roommate is waiting, proving that the best home isn't a place, it's a way of being content.
