Slowly Wins the Day: A Modern Day Version of the Tortoise and the
Hare is a story filled with passion and determination that promotes
exercise. In this timely tale, a little girl who takes part every
year in numerous activities for sports day has always come in last,
but has still greatly enjoyed taking part. Because she always
finishes last, she has been landed with the name "Slowly." Even her
grandmother calls her by that name. It is only when a new teacher
joins the school that Slowly discovers she does have a talent, a
sport in which she can excel. What is the sport and can Slowly
finally win? Will her persistence help her win the day? Remember
"The Tortoise and the Hare," where persistence pays off! Born in
Kent, Helen Hendry is a podiatrist in Edinburgh, Scotland. "The
Olympic Games open in the United Kingdom this year and I thought
that a story delivering a clear message about exercise would be an
ideal subject. It is important that exercise and sport should not
be seen as a punishment, but should be enjoyed by everyone. I hope
the story will encourage children of all abilities to succeed if
they try hard enough and find their talent." Publisher's website:
