Tempo: The Slowest Winner in the Forest
Tempo is a young turtle who dreams of being fast. Not just "turtle fast", but really, truly fast. Faster than the rabbit. Faster than anyone. But in a forest where speed is everything, being the slowest animal around isn't easy. He trains. He tries. He falls. He crashes. He doubts.
This heartwarming and funny tale follows Tempo's journey as he tries every way he can to become faster, from homemade skates to jetpack backpacks to secret training in the woods. But as he speeds ahead, he begins to wonder: what is he really chasing? And what might he be missing along the way?
