In this book you will meet Turtle, my power animal. It is a collection of short stories, each focusing on a recognizable situation from everyday life. The subtitles give a hint. It is about: experiencing that you have too much to do, that everything is against you, that your dreams about your life are not achievable ...

At the moment it becomes difficult, Turtle appears. She likes to act things out in a funny way. And then it becomes clear that there are other ways to look at that situation. In her way, Turtle helps to understand certain situations a little, so that you no longer have to experience them as difficult.

In the final stories, Turtle tells you a little more about ancestors and about our connection to everything that lives.

At the end of the book, Turtle gives one more tip. She knows that there is a power animal for you too, that wants to be there for you and help you.
