Old Turtle and the Broken Truth

A picture book for older readers to contemplate, or for adults to share and discuss with youth; this is the second book about Old Turtle from Douglas Wood. In this story Earth is full of suffering and war, until a young girl seeks Old Turtle who tells her about a "broken truth" and how mending it will help her people understand that all humans have a common bond. The book also features watercolor and ink illustrations by John Muth. It also could be an example of allegory for secondary students.
