Synopsis

Chrissie is a little turtle with a big problem: she believes her shell is empty. She spends her days comparing herself with other animals and imagining what it would be like to be them, only to end up disappointed again and again when she finds she cannot transform herself into someone new. At last, when Chrissie is ready to give up all hope she has a conversation with God. She begs him to change her into a creature like the wonderful animals she has seen, but God has something better in mind. God directs her to the pond, where Chrissie finally captures a vision of herself as God sees her. She realizes her shell is not empty after all and that God loves her just the way she is.

Brooke grew up in a small town in Georgia where she used to sneak away from her class to visit the library. As a young girl, she dreamed of living inside a picture book. Realizing she was a little too big to fit, she decided to write them instead.

Since then, Brooke's poetry for children has appeared in children's magazines and storybooks around the world. She is a devotional and family writer for the Christian Broadcasting Network and a devoted volunteer with the Hugs and Hope Foundation.

She lives with her handsome husband Chris and their four beautiful children, Alex, Brock, Emily and their new baby Jack.
