Yoshi and the Ocean: A Sea Turtle's Incredible Journey Home

By Lindsay Moore

I'm not a huge fan of animal stories because they make me cry out of sadness or happiness. This was a bittersweet story and yes, it made me cry. Yoshi was found as a baby sea turtle in a fisherman's net. She was taken to an aquarium with scientists that knew how to raise a baby sea turtle. She made the aquarium her home for about 20 years until her release into the open sea. This is a true story that will bring tears of happiness for Yoshi's freedom and tears of sadness for all of the scientists who loved Yoshi and had to say goodbye. It Yoshi's story a read and then visit the link below!
