I'll Follow the Moon, by Stephanie Lisa Tara, children's book about a hatchling

A very sweet book about a sea turtle hatchling, in verse and beautiful drawings, written by Stephanie Lisa Tara, illustrated by Lee Edward Fodi. 

"On a quite moonlit beach, a baby green sea turtle stirs from a dream of home.  Slowly, slowly with a tap, crick, crack, the baby turtle embarks upon a mysterious nighttime journey."  Gentle tender verse and enchanting illustrations carry this tranquil tale from sand to sea.  Stephanie's first book (now an international, double-medalist, bestseller) I'll Follow the Moon --comforts children with its soothing tone and melodic repetition.  A portion of the proceeds go to turtle organizations to help these wonderful creatures survive, and perhaps get them off the Endangered Species list.  Every purchase helps to save a sea turtle."

    I have lived near the ocean my whole life and I love turtles (sea and land). They have been on this earth forever, which makes them a survivor and an inspiration to all who are fortunate to be near them. I love their slow graceful beauty in the water and their determination to roam where they please on land.

    I got the book and I guess I missed getting the toy that goes with it. How do I get the toy to go with my book? It's put up for my grandson and we read the book together off the Kindle where we downloaded it. Please let me know how to get the toy.
    Thank you for your time

    By Reptile Grandma - See all my reviewsThis review is from: I'll Follow the Moon (Mom's Choice Award Honoree and Chocolate Lily Award Winner) (Paperback)
    I have reptiles that I use to teach not just children but anyone wanting to learn more. This amazing story I read first to my grandchildren they loved it so much I have made it part of my education talks in my experance with reading this little ones story every heart has been touched and in the end the children will have a future were the sea turtles are here and not just a store like so many animals that have vanished from this planet :D

    This children's book has beautiful illustrations that compliment the lyrical, gentle words that accompany the small sea turtle's journey from egg to sea."

    I have my first grand baby coming in December, and I think this book would be a really cute way to share my love of turtles with her. It's such a cute and informative book. I am so looking forward to reading it to her for the first time!
