A gentle story about a little snail called Henry who was born without
slime and therefore will never be like everyone else.
When Henry finds out he's missing the most important element for
snails--the slime--giving up is not an option for him. He tries to find
ways to be able to climb things just as the other snails do. He
struggles a bit before he finds the right solution, but in the end, he
becomes the inspiration for his fellow snails and makes a lot of friends
along the way, teaching us that far from being an obstacle, a difference
may prove to be the key that opens new horizons.
Using a simple story and a sympathetic hero the kids learn
social-emotional skills and are better prepared to cope with everyday
life situations.
