Description

Gaudi’s Ocean - The Story of a Great Sea Turtle: After forty years in captivity, Gaudi, a sea turtle, escapes from his aquarium only to discover that his once beautiful home is now a foul ocean. Instead of happy, healthy sea creatures, he meets hundreds of sick animals who have been maimed by underwater nuclear experiments.

Meeting other creatures who share his anguish, and then finding a mate with special needs, he eventually resolves to save the giant ‘Tree of life’ that represents the one source of hope for the world of Nature.

Gaudi is Ocean has been translated from the Japanese into twelve languages. It has also been animated on CD-ROM. People of all ages will enjoy this thought- provoking, imaginative story of a turtle’s efforts to save Nature from the greed of human beings.
