Anny La Tortuga

Anny The Sea Turtle is the first book published in AMA Mexico’s bilingual  sea turtle conservation book series. It is written for children ages 4 – 6, who live on or near the shores of the Bay of Banderas in the States of Nayarit and Jalisco, Mexico.  The book is also intended for children who visit places in Mexico where Sea Turtles like Anny live.

Anny the Sea Turtle tells the tale of Anny, an endangered Olive Ridley Sea Turtle. We follow Anny along her adventures as well as the many threats facing her in the ocean and when she must come to shore to lay her eggs. 

• Currently the story of Anny the Sea Turtle is being told as a part of AMA Mexico’s environmental education program and carried out in local and rural primary schools in the state of Nayarit.

Preview An excerpt from Anny The Sea Turtle:

“Once upon a time there was a sea turtle named Anny. She had a big shell and a great sense of humor.  She was young and pretty, and she swam with other turtles in the great ocean. She had a good time. Anny faced many dangers because sea turtles live in the water where there are lots of other creaturas, and they have to protect  themselves.”

Anny, the Sea Turtle. She is an endangered Olive Ridley.

In Spanish:  “Había una vez una tortuga llamada Anny de gran caparazón y un sentido del humor admirable.  Era joven y atractiva. Nadaba junto con otras tortugas en el gran océano.  Se divertia.  Anny se enfrentaba a muchos peligros porque las tortugas marinas viven en agua donde hay otras criaturas y tienen que protegerse de algunos de ellas.”
