This is a story about Starlee, a baby sea turtle who is born on Sanibel Island. She is protected by her human, Grama Marion and the children, the Children of the Sea. Starlee as a baby leaves the Island and grows up to be a strong woman, beautiful, powerful and free. During her travels, she learns about life, nature and our wonderful ocean. One day, like her ancestors before her, she returns to the island guided by the stars and the circle of life, a new mother to be - after earning her Ocean Degree.

Her story is a legend, that is still told today by the children that wander these sandy shores...when it is still early, just barely light and the moon and the sun wink in the dawn of the morning light.
