Foley resident Linda Spangrud welcomed an overflow crowd of friends and well wishers to a book signing of her newly published children’s book, “Miss Ella and the Turtle People,” at The Groovy Goat Restaurant on Aug. 3. The book, illustrated by Linda-Bell Schorer, is a children’s picture book about the protection, care, and conservation of sea turtles. Miss Ella learns a lot from the band of volunteers (Turtle People) who dedicates their time to pro - tecting nest and eggs laid by a mother turtle on the beach. Linda comes by her love of turtle people through experience. She and her husband have been involved in Share the Beach Sea Turtle Program locally since 2006. A portion of the sales from profit of this book will be donated to the Alabama Coastal Foundation (joinACF.org) to support Alabama’s Sea Turtle Con - versation program. The book is available locally at Tacky Jacks and Fin and Fork in Orange Beach, the Groovy Goat in Foley’s OWA and Desotos Restaurant in Gulf Shores. Follow Spangrud on Facebook for more info. Ad.
