Take Your Time: A Tale of Harriet, the Galápagos Tortoise

32 pp. | Holt | April, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8050-9521-0 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Laurel Molk. Giant Galápogos tortoise Harriet defies other creatures' jeers and explores the ocean and surrounding islands at her own slow pace: "She was in no hurry. There was plenty to see." A calmly voiced narrative encourages readers to follow their own rhythms, while eye-catching watercolor and block-print illustrations depict the exotic creatures along Harriet's saunter. Note on a real tortoise named Harriet included.
