Have you ever wanted to do something great? Something no one else believed you could do? Well, here is your chance to learn how. Meet a little snail who wanted to fly and an old butterfly who questioned why. Travel with the little snail as he crawls up a mushroom determined to soar from the top. But every time, the same thing makes him stop: fear. Sound familiar?
Filled with inspiration and motivation, this magical conversation between an ambitious snail and a seasoned butterfly encourages us to pursue our dreams regardless of who we are or where we come from. With words by award-winning author Doug Cooper aka Dougie Coop, and illustrations by acclaimed Australian artist CJ the Kid, the rhythmic verse and playful style remind us all we can achieve the impossible as long as we believe, trust, and persevere.
My Review
I absolutely love this book! I think that the lessons in this book are so important for kids to learn. Overcoming your fear, giving encouragement to others and being a good friend. The story is told in rhymes and flows beautifully. My son listens to the entire story, he tells me the snail can do it! I thought the illustrations were stunning and fit the story wonderfully. I liked how the end of the book said The beginning… meaning we will get to see more of these two friends in the future! Great book!
