The Timid Turtle

By Sandy Island PhD

The Timid Turtle is very afraid of public speaking. He hid in his shell in the back of the class. When he's assigned a task to speak in front of the class, he tries everything to get out of it. He encounters the magical butterfly, Faith, from book 1 and finds courage, confidence and inspiration to accomplish the task, feel successful and get a new name.

Sandy Islands, PhD has worked as a licensed psychotherapist and owner of Energy Illumination, LLC for over 35 years.

She completed the first 4 books in the Magical Butterfly series in 2000. This is Book #3. Bryce McBratnie, a professional actor, joined her in the recording studio in 2014 to turn them into audiobooks and awaken the characters. Feel free to download the audio story from the link inside. Samantha Jo Phan contributed her talent and illustrations in 2023 to complete the process so this story could come alive
