What if the stars you see tonight aren’t the ones turtles depend on?

Light pollution doesn’t just hide the night sky. It can confuse nesting turtles and their hatchlings, pulling them away from the ocean they’re trying to find.

This is the inspiration for my 11th book, The Turtle Who Turned Off the Stars. A gentle story about why darkness matters, how starlight guides wildlife, and how small choices can help protect our beaches.
