Description

In the gentle hush of Pleasant Valley, a curious turtle named Timothy makes his home at the muddy edge of Black Creek. Though he moves slowly along the bank, his sharp bite and grumpy temper have earned him a reputation that keeps most creatures at a wary distance. Even the boastful crow who flits over the fields can't help but mutter about Timothy’s stubbornness, setting the stage for an unlikely clash of personalities.

When a sudden invitation from a neighboring animal promises a chance to step beyond the familiar water’s edge, Timothy finds himself faced with a choice: cling to his solitary ways or glimpse a world where his bite might be softened by friendship. The early moments of this adventure hint at humor and heart, inviting listeners to wonder whether the old turtle can learn a little patience without losing the spirit that makes him uniquely his.
