The Tortoise of Many Colors Olarewaju Oladipo

The Tortoise of Many Colors (2017) is the second book of the 'Sculpture Garden' series. It explores the journey of a tortoise from the moment it hatches from its shell and it navigates the complexities of human-animal relationships in its quest for survival. It's a relationship that only gets more complicated as it escapes the ever-present threat of predators, until it runs into the path of two young children. The 'Sculpture Garden' Series is based on actual sculptures and is part of an ongoing effort to support the work of local artists in Nigeria, fund the establishment of sustainable sculpture gardens, and sponsor worldwide collaborations with art institutions.
