The Little Girl and the Tortoise
About
Inspired by a timeless fable, The Little Girl and the Tortoise is an encouraging story about friendship, perseverance, and discovering one's unique strengths.
When a determined little girl sets out to help her friend, the tortoise, win a race against the rabbit, she journeys across the African landscape seeking advice from other animals. Each offers an answer, but none is particularly helpful. Discouraged but unwilling to give up, the girl continues her search until a wise elephant asks a simple yet life-changing question: What makes the tortoise special?
With this new perspective, the girl and the tortoise discover an unexpected solution.
Praise for this book
This is a very cute book! Just like the summary says, we follow a little girl as she tries to help a tortoise win a race against a hare. She meets lots of other animals and sees lots of beautiful scenery as she struggles to find a solution. I bought it for my library, and I know our patrons will enjoy it!
