Sy Montgomery and Matt Patterson - The True and Lucky Life of a Turtle

Western Montana bookstores and Montana Book Company are thrilled to welcome Sy Montgomery (National Book Award finalist, The Soul of an Octopus) and acclaimed wildlife artist Matt Patterson to celebrate their new book: The True and Lucky Life of a Turtle!

This beautifully illustrated, real-life story of one lucky snapping turtle is a heartwarming tale of resilience, conservation, and the people who helped give him a second chance. Perfect for readers of all ages!

This is a FREE and family-friendly event. With our friends in conservation joining us from Montana Wild, readers of all ages will be engaged in not just a story about resilience and care, but will learn about turtles and conservation with turtle shells on display for education and interaction. We hope to see you there! For more information, visit: https://mtbookco.com/event/2025-09-09/sy-montgomery-illustrator-matt-patterson-true-and-lucky-life-turtle
