Thanks for listening.






Everyone is a turtle in Turtletown. So Teeny thinks she must be a turtle, too. But when Teeny sprouts feathers, she begins to wonder . . . is there a teeny possibility she's a . . . BIRTLE? 



Tootie loves tag, but the other turtles in Turtletown don't like to play. That is, until Tootie meets Teeny. Teeny LOVES tag. They have tons in common! Except one BIG thing . . . Teeny may not be a turtle at all.






Tara J. Hannon lives in Maryland by the Chesapeake Bay with her daughters and husband. She is the author-illustrator of the early graphic novel series, BIRTLE (AMP Kids) and the forthcoming chapter book series, THE ONLY GHOST (Penguin Workshop) coming in 2025. She is also excited to be illustrating the graphic novel series, GROUCHO THE GROUCHY GROUNDHOG, written by Lydia Lukidis, slated for 2025.

 

Tara enjoys books with both heart and humor. When not writing or illustrating she can be found being so uncool it's almost cool, with her daughters and husband and jogging. She can rarely be found sleeping and she is okay with that.
