Nell and the Sunflower Nine
She wasn't the fastest. She was just the cleverest.
Nell's little yellow car is the slowest thing on the grid - dented, hand-me-down, and entirely hers. It was her grandpa's once: he raced it, loved it, and left it to her.
When the lights go out, the shiny cars vanish up the track and Nell finishes dead last. It hurts. But back in the shed, her Gran shares the secret her grandpa always knew: the fastest car doesn't always win.
The track keeps secrets, for anyone patient enough to learn them. So Nell walks it. Studies it. Learns where the corners open up and where the shadows stay damp - until one grey, rainy afternoon, a small yellow car out-thinks the whole field.
A warmly rhymed picture book about patience, cleverness and quiet courage - and about loving something old and dented because it was given to you with love.
Perfect for reading aloud with children who don't always come first.
Ages 3-7 - 32 pages - Full colour throughout
