Bravery: A Baby Sea Turtle's First Adventure by Bec Martin, children's book
Bravery Watercolor Background

Introducing….

Bec Martin’s debut children’s book, Bravery: A Baby Sea Turtle's First Adventure.

Beautifully illustrated with full-page watercolor paintings, this unique book tells the story of a sea turtle hatchling figuring out what and who she is, as she begins to emerge from her egg, deep underneath the sand.

The book hopes to inspire acts of bravery in children who read and engage with the story of Shelley, the sea turtle, and is written from the sea turtle's perspective.

Meet the Author

Bec Martin is a children’s book author and sea turtle advocate.

Her debut book titled Bravery: A Baby Sea Turtle’s First Adventure is meant to uplift and inspire little ones to be their best.

As a former life coach and in her current roles as author and preschool teacher, Bec loves to encourage others!

She enjoys hanging out with her husband, two grown kids (as much as possible), and her dog, Sophie. She adores flowers, beach walks, and of course, sea turtles.
