A song about the sacred bond of motherhood.

Following the collection of fairy tales " The First Adventure of the Ducks ," author Ngo Huong Thao continues to present young readers with the picture book "The Story of Mother Turtle" (Lionbooks and Hanoi Publishing House), using animal stories to celebrate the sacred bond of motherhood.

The work presents a simple yet impactful story. Many works have been written about the sacred bond of motherhood, and * The Story of the Mother Turtle* continues this tradition. It depicts the boundless love of a mother, Tyna, a 30-year-old turtle.

"The Story of the Mother Turtle" is not only appealing because of its content, but also because of its vivid and beautiful illustrations.

The story opens with a wish from the turtle Tyna: After 30 years of wandering the equatorial seas of the Pacific Ocean , a powerful urge compels Tyna to return to the beach where she was born. It's a year-round warm sea in southern Vietnam.

On her journey home, Tyna the turtle's journey into motherhood begins. Turning the colorful pages through the vivid illustrations by artist Rán Art, readers are moved by her struggles to find a safe place to lay her eggs, ensuring the safety of her offspring.

But that wasn't all. Even after finding a perfect spot, it happened to be the full moon, when the moon shone brightly over a vast expanse of sea. It was a romantic scene, but the light made it easy for predators to see the birthing process and steal her offspring. So, Tyna the turtle decided to wait longer, until a more suitable and safer time for her children.

In the simple story of Tyna the turtle's journey to motherhood, author Ngo Huong Thao skillfully incorporates scientific knowledge about the reproductive habits of turtles. The information is presented at just the right level to stimulate curiosity and inspire young children to explore and discover.
