Tina Tortoise dreams of joining a real racing team—but in a sport that prizes speed, it’s hard for a slow and thoughtful tortoise to be taken seriously. When the Woodland Grand Prix comes to town, Tina sets off with her toolkit, her racing notes, and big hopes. But as team after team turns her away, Tina wonders if anyone will give her a chance—until a surprising twist sets her dream in motion. 

This is the first part of a heartwarming bedtime story about quiet determination, unexpected opportunity, and the power of believing in yourself.

Sleep Tight,

Sheryl & Clark
