What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

This lavish, highly-acclaimed rendition of Aesop’s most beloved fable about grit, hope, and resilience is brought to life by Caldecott Medal-winning artist Jerry Pinkney. This nearly wordless companion to the Caldecott Medal-winning The Lion & the Mouse is Jerry Pinkney’s most stunning masterpiece yet. Even the slowest tortoise can defeat the quickest hare, and even the proudest hare can learn a timeless lesson from the most humble tortoise: Slow and steady wins the race! Here is a superbly rendered journey from starting line to finish that embodies the bravery, perseverance, and humility we can all find inside ourselves. Don’t miss these other classic retellings by Jerry Pinkney: The Lion & the MouseThe Grasshopper & the AntsThe Three Billy Goats GruffLittle Red Riding Hood
