Laurie Parker

A man driving along in his truck sees a turtle in the middle of the road. Being good-hearted, he pulls over, gets out, and moves the turtle to safety. But is that where it stopped? Laurie Parker, creator of the beloved book Everywhere in Mississippi and a popular state alphabet book series, explores just that question in her newest work. Written in Parker’s distinctive rhyming style, and illustrated with her unique collage artwork, The Turtle Saver is a delightful account of one good deed, and the ripple effects that it brings about. Readers will enjoy following a cleverly-woven chain of events, and seeing how sometimes seemingly separate things that happen are actually connected. Parker’s lyrical metered verse is a joy to read for adults as well as children.
