\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tortoise and Hare<\/em><\/strong> is a fractured fairy tale to help kids slow down <\/strong>and<\/em><\/strong> find their energy, from <\/strong>New York Times<\/em><\/strong> bestselling author and mindfulness expert Susan Verde and illustrator Jay Fleck.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once upon a time there were two neighbors, Hare and Tortoise. Although they lived side by side, they did things very differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hare did everything quickly and energetically. But she was so busy that she didn\u2019t always pay attention to the things\u2014or people\u2014around her. Some might say she was too<\/em> fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tortoise did everything slowly and thoughtfully. But sometimes he took so much time that he had trouble finishing things. Some might say he was too<\/em> slow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What will happen when the two come head-to-head? This original spin on a classic fairytale explores how too much of anything won\u2019t get you across the finish line, and how having a friend to help you find balance is the best thing of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
