Overview

This impressive true story chronicles the life of Yoshi, a loggerhead turtle who was rescued by fishermen and then rehabilitated and cared for by scientists for many years. The scientists adored her, and Yoshi was happy in her aquarium home. But then, many years later, Yoshi let them know that it was time for her to move on. Would Yoshi be safe? Would she know what to do? After lots of preparation, and plenty of friendly back scratches for Yoshi, the determined loggerhead set off on her journey.
