Cacú The Brave Sea Turtle

Filled with joy and trepidation after her long migratory journey, Cacú the leatherback turtle, finally arrives at Manresa beach where she was born many, many years ago. Shock and fear run through her body as she discovers that nothing is the same as she remembers it!

Fortunately for Cacú, three hermit crabs named Marvin, Yoli and Pepín, befriend her and offer to help her navigate these changing times. Strengthened by their presence and the advice of some of her oceanic pals, Cacú sets forth to accomplish the most important job in her life.

Inspired by a true story, this is a tale of courage and triumph that teaches children the importance of overcoming obstacles they once thought were impossible.
