Lindsay Moore chronicles the remarkable true story of Yoshi, a
loggerhead sea turtle who traveled an astounding 25,000 miles after
being released from the aquarium that rehabilitated her.
Informational and awe-inspiring, Yoshi and the Ocean is a gorgeous
picture book about patience, perseverance, the ocean, and finding
your way home. A transformative story about the incredible journeys
animals make and the interconnectedness of the natural world. In
1997, a young loggerhead sea turtle was rescued from the ocean
after an injury to her shell. The fishermen who rescued her named
her Yoshi and took her to the Two Oceans Aquarium in Cape Town,
South Africa. She was rehabilitated there and grew stronger-and
larger!-every day. She also became one of the most popular exhibits
at the aquarium. After twenty years in captivity, Yoshi was
released back into the ocean and traveled more than 25,000 miles in
1,003 days to find her way home. A tracking device on her shell
transmitted data about her journey to marine biologists and turtle
enthusiasts of all ages around the world. Lindsay Moore's gorgeous
watercolor paintings enrich her moving, lyrical, and informative
text. This picture book touches on topics such as conservation,
oceanography, natural selection, the food chain, currents, and
geography, making Yoshi and the Ocean an ideal choice for parents,
teachers, librarians, and anyone interested in nature and the
ocean. Includes a map of Yoshi's journey, information about sea
turtles and how you can help them, and additional resources.
