Produktbeschreibung
The Last Spotted Turtle is a children's story about a kind old man named Henry and his beloved spotted turtle, Ernie. The story follows Henry and Ernie as they enjoy their lives together, and as Henry teaches the children who visit them how to care for Ernie. When Henry tells the children that Ernie is the last Spotted Turtle on Earth, they are determined to make the rest of his life special. They build him a wonderful home, filled with beautiful plants, delicious food, and plenty of sunshine. They also open the windows and invite the birds and butterflies to nest in the trees, so that Ernie will never feel bored or lonely. When Henry sees what the children have done, he is so pleased that he has a second secret to share with them: he tells them that they are all just like Ernie, because there is only one of each of them. He tells them that they must give special care to each other and themselves, just as they have cared for Ernie. The children listen to Henry, and they know what he said is true. From that moment on, they always look after each other with kindness and love. In time, Henry passes away, but the children continue to care for Ernie. They also take good care of each other, too.
Autorenporträt
Walter Schubert: A Pioneer in Inclusion and a Pillar of Resilience Walter Schubert, a former member of the New York Stock Exchange, etched his name in history as the first openly gay member of the NYSE in 1994. This trailblazing act marked the beginning of his unwavering commitment to fostering a more inclusive and welcoming workplace environment on Wall Street and corporate America. Walter's life is a testament to resilience. Having survived the devastating 9/11 attacks at the World Trade Center and overcoming five bouts of a deadly cancer over two decades, he embodies the indomitable spirit. His wealth of life experience serves as a beacon of hope, inspiring others through his captivating storytelling that opens minds and touches hearts. Driven by compassion and optimism, Walter embraces the belief that every individual possesses unique talents, skills, gifts, and perspectives. He champions the human spirit and the transformative power of community. His passion for life extends beyond his professional endeavors, as he dedicates his time as a life coach and mentor, guiding individuals of all ages through life's challenges. When not inspiring others, Walter finds solace in the melodies of the piano, the creative world of writing, the capturing beauty through photography, and the tranquility of nature's embrace, exploring trails through camping, hiking, and skiing. Walter Schubert's story is a symphony of resilience, compassion, and unwavering optimism. He is a pioneer who paved the way for a more inclusive world, a pillar of strength who emerged from adversity, and a beacon of inspiration who continues to illuminate the lives of others.
