Totty
the sea turtle's spectacular quest!
Totty is a story of a brave turtle that overcomes different obstacles with the help of his friends. His adventure brings him full circle back to his birthing place, where he is saved by the Turtle Sea Rescue staff that help him and then release him back into the sea. His story is a positive way that children can learn about how litter in the ocean and oil spills can affect the different sea creatures and their homes and will inspire children to protect these creatures and become conservationists of the future.
