Drink beer, save turtles with Sy Montgomery and Matt Patterson
Meet Sy Montgomery & Matt Patterson!
Brought to you in partnership with the Turtle Survival Alliance, we’re combining our family-friendly book-signing with their signature Drink Beer, Save Turtles fundraiser. A portion of all ticket proceeds supports the Turtle Survival Alliance and saves turtles.
Researching her articles, films, scripts, and over thirty books for children and adults, National Book Award finalist Sy Montgomery has scuba-dived with sharks, cuddled with octopuses, slept next to a mother hippo and her baby, and been undressed by a wild orangutan. To inform this book, she and acclaimed wildlife artist Matt Patterson helped rescue cold-stunned sea turtles on Cape Cod, raised baby painted turtles for release into the wild, and provided physical therapy for an injured, 42-pound wild snapping turtle named Fire Chief. They still regularly patrol a nesting site for native New England turtles against predators and volunteer at Turtle Rescue League in southern MA.
