    About this ebook

    A tortoise cannot run very fast. But a person cannot live in a cool shell! When you focus on being the very best you, your true friends will love you just the way you are.
    Ben is a tortoise who wants to run fast like the rest of his friends. At first, he is determined to change himself, but keeps getting hurt in the process. His best friend helps him to realize there's no reason for him to be faster. When we accept each other the way God made us, that helps to get rid of all the yucky stuff and makes room for much more love in our world!

    Derek Burkhardi

    Laura Davis believes strongly in literature's purpose to teach and delight. She enjoyed obtaining a degree in English Literature from Ursinus College in Pennsylvania, and is currently relishing life raising her daughter, with whom she explores a great variety of Children's Literature . Laura lives in Southern New Jersey with her husband and daughter. Derek Burkhardt is an illustrator from Southern New Hampshire who passionately seeks to capture the spry vivacity of a child's perspective. He makes use of the time spent with his numerous nieces and nephews as a portal to which he can escape to their whimsical world; recreating within his illustrations the exuberant color and playfulness of the adventures that he shares with them. Currently, Derek is continuing his studies at a college of the University of New Hampshire majoring in Biology.
