The "string of turtles" you're referring to is most likely Peperomia prostrata, a popular and charming houseplant. Here's some information about it:
What it is:
 * It's a small, trailing succulent vine native to the rainforests of Brazil.
 * Its common name comes from its unique leaves, which are small, round, and patterned with green and brown markings that resemble tiny turtle shells.
 * It's also sometimes called "Turtle Vine" or "Jade Necklace."
Appearance:
 * It has delicate, slender stems that can grow to about 12 inches long.
 * The leaves are the main attraction, typically about 1/2 inch in diameter, and have a slightly succulent feel.
Care:
 * Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Too much direct sun can scorch the leaves, while too little light can lead to leggy growth and loss of the distinct leaf patterns. An east-facing window is often ideal.
 * Water: String of turtles is semi-succulent and doesn't need a lot of water. Allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out completely before watering. Overwatering is a common issue and can lead to root rot. Use well-draining soil, such as a mix for cacti and succulents.
 * Soil: Requires a well-draining potting mix. A cactus or succulent mix amended with a bit of peat moss or coco coir to retain some moisture is often recommended.
 * Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Protect it from drafts and temperatures below 55°F (13°C).
 * Humidity: While it can tolerate average household humidity, it appreciates slightly higher humidity, especially during dry winter months.
 * Fertilizing: Feed with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing in fall and winter.
Propagation:
String of turtles is relatively easy to propagate through stem or leaf cuttings:
 * Stem Cuttings:
   * Cut a 3-4 inch section of a healthy stem, just below a node (where a leaf grows).
   * Remove the leaves from the lower part of the cutting, exposing a few nodes.
   * You can root stem cuttings in either moist potting mix or water.
     * Soil: Plant the cut end in moistened soil, ensuring at least one node is buried. Keep the soil consistently moist and provide bright, indirect light.
     * Water: Place the cut end in a jar of clean water, ensuring no leaves are submerged. Once roots develop (usually in a few weeks), carefully pot the cutting in well-draining soil.
 * Leaf Cuttings:
   * Carefully remove a leaf with a bit of the stem (petiole) attached.
   * Allow the cut end to callous over for a few hours or a day.
   * Plant the leaf-stem in moist succulent mix, partially burying the stem.
   * Keep the soil lightly moist and provide bright, indirect light. It can take a few months for new growth to emerge.
Common Problems:
 * Overwatering: Leads to root rot, indicated by yellowing or mushy leaves.
 * Underwatering: Can cause the leaves to lose their plumpness and the stems to wilt.
 * Insufficient light: Results in leggy growth and faded leaf patterns.
 * Pests: Generally pest-resistant, but can occasionally attract spider mites, mealybugs, or whiteflies.
String of turtles is a delightful plant that adds a unique touch to any indoor garden with its interesting foliage and trailing habit, making it perfect for hanging baskets or displaying on shelves.

Cute picturization
Format: Board book
Like the picturization really really cute sandpiper babies! You might have to come up with your names for the piper babies as the names given peep and piper don't stand out when narrating the story to kids. But it's a cute book to have.

Must have pre-schooler book on kindness/empathy
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
This is great because it gives lots of tangible acts of kindness that a toddler/preschooler can understand. It has a feel of preventing bullying by encouraging kindness towards your peers at a young age. It touches upon gratitude and empathy. There is a wonderful range of diversity in skin tones and also includes a child with waking aid & one with a hearing aid. Illustrations are bright and basic. Arms & hands of characters are sort of stiff, so while a previous review implies there is something wrong you would really have to be looking closely and making assumptions to find hands between the waist and knees doing anything wrong.

Inclusion- without making that the focal point!
Format: Hardcover
This book shows representation for physical disabilities and different skin tones without that being the headliner of the book. It also emphasizes being kind to anyone/ everyone - and not because they are different. Showing children with hearing aids drawing pictures to cheer someone up (with no mention of the disability) or showing a child with assisted walking needs planting seeds at a community garden- These children are not the victims of this book who need kindness, but are thoughtfully included to be spreading kindness to others.
