School Library Journal, in a review of
Old Turtle, wrote "Environmentally conscious, gender-balanced (references to God include
She), and spiritual in mood, this is a
New Age fable; its message of saving the Earth is told in lyrical prose and in pictures that delight the eye." and
Kirkus Reviews called it "A handsome, thought-provoking book, especially appropriate for collections that support religious instruction."
Publishers Weekly called it "an enchanting book.", but found "Difficult ideas, painterly art and sophisticated language make this a book primarily for adults." ==Awards==
