Everyone knows the race between the Rabbit and the Turtle. The Rabbit took a nap, and the Turtle won.

But what happened after that?

Nossy the Turtle has a new goal: to finish faster than last time. Skipping, rabbit ears, puddles from a bucket, and a strange board with wheels. This is the story of how he tried, changed his plan, tried again, and found his own speed.

What this story is aboutNot to beat someone, but to beat your old self

Nossy's goal is not to beat the Rabbit. It is to finish faster than he did before. When something does not work, he changes his plan and tries again. He does not try to do it all alone, either. He listens to the people around him.

"I found my own speed!"
