Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

In Moore's striking homage to a tenacious reptile, a blend of moody oceanscapes and alliterative prose takes readers along on a rescued sea turtle's dramatic 25,000-mile marine journey. Released with a tracking tag in 2017 after 20 years in a South African aquarium, Yoshi begins a record-setting migration that encompasses two oceans and a little over two years. A periodic refrain, "Hello from Yoshi. I am here," reminds readers of the tracking device's presence and time's passage, while realistic multimedia art shows the loggerhead turtle's progress through the vast ocean. Intimate images depict Yoshi navigating fishing grounds and inclement weather, culminating with an arrival to the waters off Western Australia and high hopes for a continued life. Expansive back matter includes a detailed map of the trip. Ages 4--8. (May)
