Pip and Mr. Walker

By Erica Wolf

Some rafts race to the finish. This one takes its time.

It's time for the Annual Rivertown Raft Derby, and everyone is racing to be first. Rocky builds fast. Aria plans carefully. But Pip can't seem to get past his very first knot.

As his friends speed ahead and Pip begins to wonder if he's simply too slow, he meets Mr. Walker-a tiny snail who moves through the world at his own pace.

With a little patience, a slower breath, and one knot at a time, Pip discovers that finishing doesn't have to mean finishing first-and sometimes the things we build carefully are the ones that hold up best.

A warm story about overwhelm, self-confidence, friendship, and finding your own pace. Perfect for children ages 6-9 who sometimes need a little more time in a world that seems to be moving fast.
