Some journeys aren't about speed. They're about knowing, deep down, which way is home.
We're so happy to share that Annie and the Turtle Who Knew the Way launches everywhere on August 18, 2026. It's the newest story in the NIRA Books family, and it might be one of the gentlest yet.
Annie is a girl who feels lost — not on a map, but in the bigger, harder-to-name way children sometimes do. When she meets a turtle who has wandered farther than anyone she knows, and always finds his way back, Annie learns that being lost and being found aren't opposites. Sometimes they're just two parts of the same walk.
Like every NIRA book, Annie and the Turtle Who Knew the Way is hand-illustrated by professional artists, reviewed by child development specialists, and made to be read slowly, together, more than once. It launches in English, Spanish, German, French, and Portuguese, available across all our platforms starting August 18.
We believe books like this one are more than products — they're keepsakes. We can't wait for Annie and her turtle to find their way into your home.
