The Tortoise & the Hare, by Jerry Pinkney

(Hardcover, 40 pages, first published in 2013)

This nearly wordless companion to the Caldecott Medal-winning The Lion & the Mouse is Jerry Pinkney's most stunning masterpiece yet, bringing to life Aesop's beloved fable about grit, hope, and resilience. 

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.
