SY MONTGOMERY & MATT PATTERSON TO READ

Everyone loves turtles. And no wonder: long-lived, unhurried, and ancient, these shelled reptiles are fascinating. Join Hancock’s own turtle team, author Sy Montgomery and illustrator Matt Patterson, for a special evening celebrating their newest picture book, "The True and Lucky Life of a Turtle" — and to hear the inspiring real-life story of Fire Chief, a giant snapping turtle who they both had a hand in rescuing.

Kirkus Review says, “In the annals of true animal rescue tales, this one delights and uplifts.” In their starred review, Publisher’s Weekly writes, “Montgomery and Patterson astonish with this fact-driven turtle tribute. Realistic, almost photographic, acrylic paintings capture diverse turtle species. Every page is an authoritative delight in this conservation-minded ode poised to turn anyone into a turtle lover.”

7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Harris Center. Space is limited, and registration is required. For more information, including questions about accessibility, contact Susie Spikol.

Co-sponsored by the Harris Center for Conservation Education, the Toadstool Bookshop, and the Hancock Library.
