A race, a whale, several boats and an ego go head to head to see who will set the pace in the town's annual race. This is a tale that shows struggle and perseverance and how the spirit of one's heart and the act of simply finishing the race is often more important to your self esteem than where it is you place. Give it your best and finish what you start! This is a book to help youngsters understand that finishing what we start is as important as giving our word. When we take the time to finish a project, we increase our self-confidence and improve our self-esteem. This book uses poetry and simple but clever illustrations to capture young minds and help them understand that sometimes all it takes is to finish the race to be a winner!
