First, we want to thank you for considering, reading, or purchasing my book—it means a great deal to me.


Years ago, when our kids were small, we made an unexpected discovery during a family outing to a local flea market. There, they stumbled upon a vendor selling tiny turtles—and my children fell in love instantly. They wanted them so badly it was heartbreaking not to bring them home.


Luckily for us, our budget didn’t allow the purchase. But for days afterward, all they could talk about was owning and caring for those tiny pets. To ease their disappointment, we began telling them stories—tales of a little turtle named BluBerrie and his many adventures. That moment sparked the idea for BluBerrie Books, turning their longing into something even greater.


However, in 1970, a report revealed that small turtles could carry Salmonella, a bacteria that causes the human disease salmonellosis. Shortly after, it became illegal to buy small turtles as pets.


If you're considering getting a pet turtle, we strongly encourage you to research before making a decision.

We hope that the fictional stories of BluBerrie will serve as an alternative to the real thing, offering joy and imagination rather than an endorsement of turtle ownership.
