Synopsis

On this take of the traditional fable, this turtle will have to contend with more than just a rabbit. This time, the race is far more difficult as he faces off against not 1 but 6 opponents! Can a turtle defy impossible odds and defeat a rabbit, a pig, a fox, a hedgehog, an echidna and even a cheetah?! Will slow & steady be enough to win this unfair race?

Makes a great gift for ages 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and grades K to 3.

Multiple Morals: This book engages readers making them eager to find out how a turtle could possibly win against 6 opponents. After finishing the book, parents have the opportunity to talk to their children about the racers and what they can learn from each of them.

The Story Behind This Book: As a child and young adult, Mr. Sun thought that the story of the Tortoise & the Hare didn't make that much sense. As he got older, he reflected on his past failures and identified many pitfalls that prevented him from succeeding. Through painful self-examination, he came to realize the wisdom of Aesop's famous fable. He now understands that succeeding is about going at a pace that's right for him, even if it's slow but as long as it's steady. Mr. Sun wanted to share his past mistakes with his two sons Nathan and Ryan so he wrote this book which draws from his own experiences. Mr. Sun tries not to take it too personally when they laugh at each of the racers as they fail.
