I was approached by Dr Helen Bailey to help with an exciting children’s book for The Leatherback Trust.
The aim of the project was to create an engaging, educational story book for children. The hope was that through this accessible medium, children would learn about the lives of turtles and how to help protect them.
Dr Bailey had written the story; a tale of two baby turtles trying to find their way back home, and required editorial advice.
I proofread and offered light advice on structure and content, ultimately suggesting a few minor alterations.
Dr Bailey was grateful for my help and production of the book went ahead.
My role in this project was small, but I am extremely excited to see the final copy in print. I hope that the book will be a huge success and encourage the next generation to learn about these fascinating sea creatures.
