Old Turtle: Questions of the Heart by Douglas Wood

3.0

Old Turtle returns in a book filled with questions. People gather and wonder where they can find the answers. Someone suggests that the Old Woman can lead them to the Old Turtle. They follow old paths, make new ones, and listen to the whisperings of their hearts until they reach Old Turtle. One by one they ask their questions and Turtle replies, explaining things like the purpose of life, how to find happiness, family, play, evil, death and the greatest question of all - "Who are you, and how will you live this day?" Ruth's illustrations are full of warm tones and scenes that echo Turtle's words.
