I would like to thank God first and foremost for his Grace, for inspiring Jaidan to read and write this book, for allowing us to meet Theresa Nichols who is a publisher and a Godly woman. This book means so much to our family. Turtle Boy was published to inspire Jaidan and every child that is growing up without a parent in their home. It is also our hope that this will encourage children to follow God and set goals for themselves. Just like Jaidan, if you set a goal and work hard at it you can accomplish anything that you set your mind to. Second Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
