The Diamondback on the Mud
a book of the turtle that belongs to the marsh and of the kite with tubes that stay steady
William Vincent Carleton
A diamondback terrapin basks on the mud at the edge of the marsh, its shell patterned like the mud itself. Lúmine stands still and watches, while Líam builds a kite with tubes that keep it steady in shifting air. A book about creatures that belong exactly where they are.
