Some dreams are worth waiting for-and sometimes the reward is even greater because you waited. Ever since she was a little girl, Tess has loved Corvettes: their dazzling colors, their powerful rumble, and the thrilling promise of adventure. She draws them, collects their pictures, and saves every penny she can, certain that one day she will have a Corvette of her own. When that day almost arrives, however, Tess faces a heartbreaking choice. She can buy the car she has always wanted-or walk away and put her family's needs ahead of her own. So Tess whispers, "Not yet." The years pass. College, work, marriage, children, bills, and responsibilities fill her life. Yet whenever a Corvette roars past, the dream she tucked away comes racing back. Tess may have postponed it, but she never stopped believing. Then, after a lifetime of hard work and patient waiting, Tess meets a bright yellow Corvette named Mr. Dart-and discovers that the biggest rewards sometimes arrive when the time is finally right. Warm, funny, and filled with heart, A Girl and Her Corvette is a beautifully illustrated story about sacrifice, patience, perseverance, and the extraordinary rewards of delayed gratification. It shows young readers that putting something off does not mean giving it up-and that the dreams we patiently work toward can return in ways bigger and more wonderful than we ever imagined. Perfect for young readers, families, car enthusiasts, and anyone who has ever had to wait for something they dearly wanted. "Not yet" does not mean "never." Sometimes it means something wonderful is still ahead.Buy A Girl and Her Corvette today and inspire someone you love to hold on to their dreams.
