February 17, 2025, Author Bill Borg and Illustrator Mira Scott will discuss their book, Myrtle the Loggerhead Turtle.

Review by Todd Ballantine: "Myrtle the Loggerhead Turtle is an archetypal story of the lifecycle of a loggerhead sea turtle and her epic plight to survive and thrive. The melodic refrain on each page is a lyrical reminder that nature is rooting for Myrtle's return home. This engaging story draws the reader deeper into the drama of one of the most miraculous migrations on earth. Mira Scott's art is brilliant and expressive. In the tradition of award-winning children's books, her paintings will keep readers coming back over and over to visit with all of the characters."

Based on the story of a real-life super turtle, Myrtle the Loggerhead Turtle reimagines the beginning, the magic of a protecting mermaid, the danger of a shark and barracuda, and the yearning to return to Hilton Head Island for a very special job. 

A percentage of every book sale goes to Sea Turtle Patrol, Hilton Head Island.
