This poignant story reveals a brave little girl facing the challenge of being tossed around in a sea of emotions.

The main message of The Turtle Who Lost Her Shell is that emotions can be scary but hiding yourself away from them creates more problems than it solves, we just have to learn to go with the flow and ride the waves of emotion.

“Sarah Hatherley’s Funny Feelings books are cleverly written in delightful rhymes and with a wonderful sense of humour.
Simple illustrations add volumes to the text. Reading them to my Year 5 students generated a great deal of discussion about topics such as the importance of being resilient, maintaining a positive attitude in life and expressing feelings to find constructive solutions to problems.”
