This Beginner Book starring Jacob The Turtle is the story of a young turtle without a shell. Jacob has a different take on what it means to be a turtle because his experiences have been... well, different. Without the protection of a shell, is Jacob still a turtle? Take this journey with Jacob as he struggles to accept his difference. Will others see him as a turtle? What happens when your greatest strength now becomes your greatest weakness? Originally created by Dr. Seuss, Beginner Books encourage children to read all by themselves, with simple words and illustrations that give clues to their meaning."I wish I had a shell... I wish I looked like them... then maybe they wouldn't stare. Maybe they wouldn't point their fingers and laugh and look at what isn't there." See what it's like to experience life from a different perspective. Are you still a turtle without a shell? Jacob, much like my son, has a different take on what it means to be a turtle because his experiences have been different. Without the protection of a shell, is Jacob still a Turtle? Just like humans, we are all different. We come in varying shapes, sizes, colors, etc. But at the core of us all... we are all defined as Human Beings. Each of my children will experience life differently, just like we all have. I just want to help them navigate this world a little bit easier and raise them with the same understanding. That being, we are all the same. We just come packaged differently. However, those differences are what bring us together. One of my greatest passions has been raising my children and being a Father. My goal is to connect with as many children as possible through literature, delivering positive and uplifting messages that encourage children to be the best version of themselves.
