Bubble Butt! The Challenged Sea Turtle of the Mystic Aquarium

Charlotte was struck by a boat, which caused partial paralysis of her lower digestive tract. As a result, air accumulates in her hindquarters, a condition popularly known as bubble butt. Charlotte is a star at Mystic Aquarium, in Connecticut, and is serving as an ambassador for her species, charming and inspiring more than 725,000 guests at Mystic Aquarium each year.

From this beautiful creature of the sea we learn a story of adventure, danger, courage, and compassion. Bubble Butt! shows both children and adults the importance of perseverance and humor through the rough times in life. After a boat bumps and wounds Charlotte, you will laugh and cry with her as she comes to terms with her new life. In the end she just might make you wish you were a turtle or fish, with bubbles in your own derriere! -Kiki Latimer
