🌜I’ve just broken free from my shell—there, high above, is a glowing silver moon. It whispers to me. My flippers tingle as I scurry forward, toward the shimmery sea. Moonlight dances on the waves, and I know—I’ll follow the moon.🌛 🌟Triumphant~USAToday 🌟Gorgeous

🌕I shine softly over the sand, casting a silver path across the shore. Below me, a tiny new life stirs—his flippers flutter, his eyes wide with wonder. He sees me. He trusts me. With each wobbly step, he follows my glow, drawn by ancient instinct and quiet hope. I guide him

💚With a sudden crack, I burst from my shell—no time to waste! My tiny flippers kick into action, sand flying behind me as I race full speed toward the sea. The waves shimmer ahead like a promise. I don’t stop. I don’t look back. I was born for this dash—fearless and free!💚

🌜There—a glowing moon. 'Follow me, follow me...' it whispers. I scurry forward, toward the shimmery, moonlit sea. 'I'm coming Mama, I'll see you soon, I know just how, I’ll follow the moon,' I whisper.🌛 🌟Triumphant~USAToday 🌟Gorgeous watercolors~Kirkus 🌟Sweet~HuffP
