Liza Ketchum author educator

I've teamed up once again with Jacqueline Briggs Martin and Phyllis Root to create a heartfelt book about Kemp’s ridley sea turtles need help! Young readers will learn about the rescue efforts necessary to save these animals endangered largely due to climate change. The book will be published on July 15, 2025. You can pre-order it now. Our thanks to Charlesbridge for publishing this book to raise awareness.
