The well-known tale of the tortoise and the hare receives a delightful and humorous new twist in Barbara Hendricks' captivating tale. Barbara has decided to participate in a running competition, but what on earth was she thinking? After all, she is a tortoise, and everyone is aware that tortoises are the slowest of the slow. However, for some inexplicable reason, Lorraine, her closest friend and owner, has faith in her and motivates her to train a little more each day. And when race day finally arrives, Lorraine's unwavering support is enough to prevent Barbara from retreating into her shell. In fact, Barbara soon realizes that with encouragement (and a touch of race day luck!), anything is possible!
Howard Calvert's dry and witty first-person narration is perfectly complemented by Karen Obuhanych's vibrant and luscious artwork in this delightful origin story packed with unexpected twists.
