Learn To Go With The Slow
What can you do for a friend who’s always on the go? Lessons of a Turtle by Sandy Gingras (Andrews McMeel Publishing LLC.) is the perfect gift to help someone slow down, enjoy more, and go with the slow.
Lessons of a Turtle is about enjoying what’s around you now and finding your own path. Gingras teaches that life is about the beauty of the journey more than the achievement of the finish line. So be like the turtle . . . notice, savor, bask, risk, and grow.
Through an engaging mix of words and illustrations, Gingras enlightens readers with chariming “turtlisms.” She teaches us about life’s little lessons with funt reats such as, “You can’t moe forward until you stick your neck out” and “The slower you go, the more you see.”
The author’s creative observations make a big difference on the journey through life and this book is the perfect gift for any busy-body.
On a personal note, I LOVE this little book! Combine it with tea, gardening or spa gifts -- or maybe a warm fireside relaxation theme with hot cocoa, popcorn, coffee and snacks. It is a small book and that makes it perfect for tucking into a more modest sized gift baskets.
