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
