The Cumberland, R.I., fire station celebrated their old neighbor, Fire Chief. The star of The True and Lucky Life of Turtle began his life in two ponds right by the firehouse. The firefighters saw him grow up, and when he was hit by a car, they called the Turtle Rescue League.
Fire Chief didn’t make this homecoming, but he sent his ambassadors.
Sy and Matt gave three separate talks to different age groups of K-8 students at the Chesterfield School in Chesterfield, N.H. Matt also lead a paint-along session. Thanks to a generous grant, every student received a signed copy of The True and Lucky Life of a Turtle. The visit was arranged by Bettina Ramsay, reading specialist, who was named Teacher of the Year by the Harris Center.
