Bravery: A Baby Sea Turtle’s First Adventure is a children’s book, beautifully illustrated with full-page watercolor paintings. It tells the story of a loggerhead sea turtle hatchling figuring out what/who she is as she begins to emerge from her egg, deep underneath the sand. She must navigate her way to the surface of the sand, along with her siblings, and then make her way safely to the ocean to begin her adventurous life as a sea turtle.
The story is told from the baby sea turtle’s perspective. The imagery of the journey is both realistic and creative. Author, Bec Martin, has volunteered for several years with the Topsail Turtle Project, a program of The Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center, located in Surf City, North Carolina. As a volunteer, Bec has observed many sea turtle nests and has been present when the hatchlings have emerged and made their way to the ocean.
Book foreword provided by Kathy Zagzebski, Executive Director of The Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center.
Bec hopes to inspire children all over the world to be brave, aided by the memory of this endearing story.

“It takes bravery to write a book, and Bec Martin is definitely brave. In “Bravery: A Baby Sea Turtle’s First Adventure,” Bec imagines what a hatchling turtle might experience as they make their way from the egg, through the nest, across the sand, and to the ocean. Her engaging imagery of the journey is both realistic and creative. I encourage everybody to read, to imagine, and to find their inner bravery!”
