Our Story
Where It All Began
and three little turtles — and a very big imagination.
2004
Claire had a wonderful imagination and a love for stories. Together we dreamed up three little turtles — Shelley, Greenie and Slowey — and sent them on an adventure among the stars.
♡
age 7 / 2004 ♡
And this was the result! ♡
The first Space Turtles book was printed, coil-bound and given as Christmas gifts from Claire to our family. Before long, we had even started a second adventure for Halloween.
Some of our
original ideas from
October 2004...
⭐ Blast off
⭐ Find space suits in a door
⭐ Put them on
⭐ Go to Planet Turtle
⭐ Meet a friendly alien
⭐ Slowey drops seashells
⭐ Their parents follow the trail
⭐ Catseye is our secret password
⭐ Alien is green ⭐
Some things never change!
And yes...
he still has a frog in his pocket!

Same story.
A rather different Turtlemobile!

Still pressing buttons
they probably shouldn’t!

Even the residents of Planet Turtle
got a makeover!

Twenty-two years later...
At Christmas 2025, I decided to bring the original story back to life as a gift for Claire, so she could read it to her own children.
As I revisited those old pages, I realized the adventures still had their magic.
So the journey continues... ♥
New illustrations.
The same heart,
imagination and adventure
that started it all.
