Artie Knapp’s new children’s book, ‘Living Green: A Turtle’s Quest for a Cleaner Planet,’ is out today! Tired of seeing the land he loves cluttered with trash, Thurman the turtle decides it’s time to take action. He’s a very environmentally conscious turtle who simply won’t take no for an answer.
We feature many of Knapp’s children’s stories here and this one is a nice big bright addition to his list of wonderful and charming stories that teach a few simple lessons. This book is 36 fully illustrated pages and is aimed at readers 5 to 10 years old. The illustrations are by M.J. Illustrations and the publisher is Mightybook, Inc.
