Old Turtle
by Douglas Wood
Illustrations by Cheng-Khee Chee

Long ago, the animals, rocks, waters and trees of the earth began an argument about …God. Is He a wind who is never still? Is He a rock that never moves? Is He high above or here among us? Venerable Old Turtle quietly answered: God is all of these things. Then people arrived on the earth and, before long, began the same argument, hurting each other and the earth - until one day, they began to hear Old Turtle's message. And Old Turtle smiled. And so did God. This special tenth anniversary edition is packaged with an Old Turtle CD which features a reading of Old Turtle by the author himself. The CD also contains several of Douglas Wood's original songs and musical compositions.
