Book Hero thinking about your next read

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The idea of a story about a turtle and a duck came to me while walking around the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis reservoir located in Central Park, NY. It saddened me when I noticed a few turtles in the water with no way to leave that reservoir.

I purposely chose the characters to be two females as I realise how important it is for us as females to develop trust and help each other. I hope this will be a first in a series where we can follow Ella and Jupiter through their experiences and journeys discovering the world.

The Duck and the Turtle on the Upper West Side is a heartfelt tale inspired by these thoughts and observations.
