An irresistibly cute story about finding the confidence to be yourself, starring a turtle in search of the perfect shell. Terrance the turtle was born without a shell, so he uses a cardboard box instead. Terrance loves his box. It keeps him dry on soggy days, safe from snooping strangers, and is big enough to cozy up with a friend. But when another turtle points out that Terrance's shell is, well, weird, he begins to wonder whether there might be a better shell out there... Eventually, and through much trial and error, Terrance learns that there's nothing wrong with being different--especially when it comes to being yourself.

Lessons of a Turtle

Pages : 76

Book Description
Learn to channel your inner zen and enjoy the simple things in life with this beautiful, inspirational book from the author of Paradise Girls. Long ago, Sandy Gingras read “The Tortoise and the Hare,” a fable that teaches “slow and steady wins the race.” But she didn’t learn the lesson! Instead she lived the race of hurry-up and do-it-all every day. And it was tiring. But now, Gingras presents readers with a different kind of lesson from a different kind of turtle in the charming book Lessons of a Turtle. And it’s a good lesson: Go with the slow! Life is about enjoying what’s around you now and finding your own path. It’s about the beauty of the journey more than the achievement of the finish line. So be like the turtle . . . notice, savor, bask, risk, grow. Put some life back in your life! Gingras helps readers get through life by using charming “turtlisms” that complement her just-as-cute turtle illustrations. She teaches us about life’s little lessons with little treats like, “You can’t move forward until you stick your neck out.” and “The slower you go, the more you see.” The author’s little observations make a big difference on the journey through life. This book makes a lovely and inspiring gift.
