Description
Imagine finding turtle eggs in your sandbox! When a mother diamondback terrapin lays eggs in a young girlﾒs sandbox, the girl becomes a ﾓturtle-sitterﾔ to help the babies safely hatch. She raises the teeny hatchlings until they become big enough to fend for themselves in the wild. Then, with the help of experts, she releases them. Along the way, she learns about these unique animals and that she has made an important contribution to their survival.
