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.
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.
A lavender shell with a little sprout on top. Slow, but he never gives up. He is also the hero of a mini game.
Very fast on her feet. She is still upset about losing the last race after her nap. This time, no more naps.
At home, in a classroom, or at a library: you are welcome to show this to anyone. A short note to let me know would make me happy.
For screenings at paid events, or for using clips from the video, please ask first.
Just one step ahead of your old self.
That is your speed.
