This fantasy story is about a fish that transforms into a turtle and then into a bird. Well, not really. I wrote this for the children and grandchildren of a very dear friend who contracted a serious life-threatening disease. Part of her difficult recovery required time in a hard body cast; therefore the metaphor of the turtle. My wish is that this little story can also give hope, encouragement, and comfort to all involved when facing a dire medical crisis, even if it does not involve a shell.
