Eight beautifully evocative short stories from the pen of Governor
General’s Award finalist Michelle Kadarusman On islands around
the world—from Manhattan to Phillip Island, Australia, to Komodo
Island and beyond—eight children face life-changing moments:
escaping a flood; embracing their identity; discovering that the
adults in their lives can ease the burden of their eco-anxiety. And
although each child couldn’t be more different, one thing
connects them all: a turtle swam into each of their lives at a
critical moment, and left them changed. Author Michelle
Kadarusman has lived and travelled all around the world, and her
elegant writing captures the spirit of the places that have left
their mark on her. In We the Sea Turtles, she explores relevant
themes like eco-anxiety, natural disaster, and how people ground
themselves when they’ve been uprooted. One way, as this
collection shows, is to tell ourselves stories: stories that make
sense of life.Â
