Turtles have been tending the ocean for millions of years. Now it’s my turn to tend to the turtles. One chilly morning in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, a child and their parents wake up early to search the beach for cold-stunned turtles. When they find one, they keep it warm and safe until another rescuer can bring it to a rehabilitation center. There, a volunteer cleans the turtle before it goes to a biologist who glues its cracked shell back together. The turtle then moves to a tank room to recover. Finally, a volunteer pilot flies the turtle south to a warmer beach. At last, a parent and child place the turtle in the ocean and watch it swim away as a crowd of cheering volunteers look on. Sea turtles have been an important part of ocean and shoreline ecosystems for millions of years. But the changing climate is shifting migration cues, trapping some turtles in frigid waters in late autumn and early winter. Luckily, many volunteers are working together with scientists to help them. In this story, follow a months-long journey and many human helpers working together to rescue a cold-stunned turtle.Includes back matter with more information about cold-stunned turtles.Key Text Featuresdialogueillustrationsauthor’s noteinformational notefactsfurther informationmapsfurther readingCorrelates to the Common Core States Standards in English Language Arts:CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.1.3Describe the connection between two individuals, events, ideas, or pieces of information in a text.CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.1.5Know and use various text features (e.g., headings, tables of contents, glossaries, electronic menus, icons) to locate key facts or information in a text.CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.1.8Identify the reasons an author gives to support points in a text.
