Written by Douglas Wood, Illustrated by Greg Ruth
“Tell us, Old Turtle…why are we here? What is the purpose of life? How do we find happiness?”
Douglas Wood has created a sublime companion to his previous Old Turtle books. This one, Old Turtle: Questions of the Heart, is full of light and wonder, and complimentary delicate soft illustrations by acclaimed artist Greg Ruth. Both word and paintings move your heart and mind above the everyday life to a higher, more grateful plane. This is a beautiful book for everyone who seeks the answers to why we are here, and while we are, how we can make a positive difference. This book really touched my heart.
