A young person sets out on a journey of self-discovery and growth.
In the Going Places contest, Rafael builds his go-cart quickly, eager to win. But Maya, his neighbor, has a unique vision that defies the norm. As Rafael joins her creative journey, they discover that winning isn't just about speed. Can their unconventional approach lead to victory, or will it redefine what it means to succeed? This tale celebrates the power of imagination and teamwork, urging readers to think outside the box.
A go-cart contest inspires imagination to take flight in this picture book for creators of all ages, with art from New York Times bestselling illustrator Peter H. Reynolds. It’s time for this year’s Going Places contest! Finally. Time to build a go-cart, race it–and win. Each kid grabs an identical kit, and scrambles to build. Everyone but Maya. She sure doesn’t seem to be in a hurry…and that sure doesn’t look like anybody else’s go-cart! But who said it had to be a go-cart? And who said there’s only one way to cross the finish line? This sublime celebration of creative spirit and thinking outside the box–both figuratively and literally–is ideal for early learners, recent grads, and everyone in between.
