Join us for a fun time learning about sea turtles with Linda Spangrud, Alabama Sea Turtle Volunteer, and International Author who has just released her third children’s book in her Turtle People Series, “Miss Linda and the Turtle People Celebrate Mardi Gras”.  In the last three years Ms. Spangrud has published two other children’s books in her series: “Miss Ella and the Turtle People” and “Miss Sandra and the Turtle People”.  Her recent release still talks about her passion and favorite topic “coastal living and sea turtle preservation” but has a very different playful twist.

Local 4 Life, a local non-profit organization built around a passion for education, conservation and community-building and based in Webster, MA, will also offer a fun, hands-on project for kids about sea turtles. Ages 6+ are welcome to participate.

The event is free. Signed copies of each of the books will be available for purchase. A portion of the sales from profit of these books will be donated to support Sea Turtle Conservation programs.

To register, please call 508-949-6232 or email deb@bookloversgourmet.com
