The story of Terple is a fun loving, humorous as well as inspirational, rhyming tale of a courageous young turtle, who dreams of a life outside of the pond. Terple is faced with a decision to either fulfill his dream of seeing the world or live a life of wondering if he will ever truly become the turtle he dreams. Every day Terple swims to the water’s edge and stares at the horizon. He closes his eyes to imagine what the world has to offer. One example of the inspirational and heartening moments in Terple is when he tells us, “Look to the stars, then close your eyes. Breathe in deep and realize… If you wish enough and see it through, that wish you wished will come true!”
