    Katie visited New City School in St. Louis to speak with Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd Grades about Where Did the Turtles Go.

  • Review: School Librarian

    "Where Did the Turtles Go is a lyric, delightful story of a young girl and her dog finding and following the turtles at nearby Forest Park.  It is a simple and charming story that covers the span of a year while visiting the same spots in the park and seeing the changes the seasons bring.  As a school librarian, I read a lot of new books, and this one is a keeper.  Both the story and the accompanying illustrations are winners.  A gem that will be read again and again."

    - Joe Corbett, Librarian, New City School

Young readers will delight in this urban park adventure which combines engaging text, relatable situations, and bright watercolor illustrations. Teachers will enjoy sharing this book that provides countless opportunities for exploring STEAM concepts and  engaging their ever-curious students in discussion and learning.”
