Tuvia Finds His Freedom is a nature story based on the true story of a tortoise who was later discovered to be a turtle. The book is illustrated with real photographs that follow his unexpected journey and bring his adventure to life.
Tuvia has a very expressive face, and through the photographs children can learn to observe animal body language and understand how animals communicate and behave. The story also highlights the happiness and sense of peace that comes when animals are returned to their natural habitat.
This book is suitable for children aged 7-11, although younger children may also enjoy it with guidance, especially through the vivid photographs.
At the end of the book, there are also several pages of interesting facts about tortoises and turtles, helping children learn more about these fascinating animals in an engaging and educational way.
What makes Tuvia's journey so unique? Where does he truly belong, and who helps him find his way to freedom?
