And turtles tour: Says Gibson’s Bookstore in Concord, NH: “Sy Montgomery and Matt Patterson are a book-making match made in heaven; their sheer enthusiasm for animals oozes out of them, on the page and in-person! We had a wonderful time hosting them for their new picture book, The True and Lucky Life of a Turtle, and they signed books (their new one, and their previous titles as well) before they left!”
