The Tortoise or the Hare, Paperback

Nobel Prize recipient Toni Morrison and Slade Morrison breathe new life into a classic Aesop's fable.

In this energetic retelling of a favorite fable, it's the speedy Hare who crosses the finish line first, but it's Tortoise who has the tale to tell when he discovers that the race, not the winning, is what matters most. While winning is important, isn't making a true friend the best prize of all?
