Summary
An irresistibly cute story about finding the confidence to be yourself, starring a turtle in search of the perfect shell.

Critics Review
“In Roeder’s skillful hands, the little box turtle offers an inarguable message about the power of friendship and the importance of working with what one has.” –Publishers Weekly Roeder renders an adorable, rosy-cheeked (all four cheeks, when he’s going about shell-free) Terrance in colorful pencil and acrylics, bringing the cute along with plenty of laughs … A sweet, affirming message brings things together in the end.” –Booklist
