Leopold is an uplifting parable about a turtle overcoming his fears, as told by Dr.
In this charming, rhyming tale of a turtle too afraid to set foot in the river, Leopold proves that facing your fears can set you free..
Leopold has to choose whether to brave the unknown and join his friends or to stay lonely and remain safe on land.
But Freddy the Frog is a little concerned about Leopold and asks him to join them in the river.
Even though Leopold feels quite alone, he stays on the riverbank where it\'s safe.
Leopold just can\'t get out of his shell, and the longer he waits, the more he starts to doubt.
It terrifies him to go join the other turtles and play in the water and sun on the rocks.
To help out, she tells him the story of Leopold the Turtle, who always stays on the shore.
Ruth\'s grandson, Ben, is afraid to join the soccer team.
