Mama Turtle Learns How to Carry the World
What do you do when you’re asked to carry something that feels far too big?
Mama Turtle Learns How to Carry the World is a heartfelt, deeply symbolic story that speaks to anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by responsibility, particularly mothers, teachers, caregivers, leaders, and dreamers alike.
When Creator God asks Mama Turtle to carry the weight of the world, she hesitates. “I am so small,” she says. “How will I ever do this?” It’s a question we’ve all asked ourselves when faced with a call that feels impossible. Through loss, love, and trust, Mama Turtle discovers that the strength to carry the world doesn’t come from being enough; it comes from believing you’re not carrying it alone.
