LESSONS OF A TURTLE (THE LITTLE BOOK OF LIFE)

Book ID/图书代码： 00450012B54031

English Summary/英文概要： Long ago, Sandy Gingras read "The Tortoise and the Hare," a fable that teaches "slow and steady wins the race." But she didn’t learn the lesson! Instead she lived the race of hurry-up and do-it-all every day. And it was tiring.

But now, Gingras presents readers with a different kind of lesson from a different kind of turtle in the charming book Lessons of a Turtle. And it’s a good lesson: Go with the slow! Life is about enjoying what’s around you now and finding your own path. It’s about the beauty of the journey more than the achievement of the finish line. So be like the turtle . . . notice, savor, bask, risk, grow. Put some life back in your life!

Gingras helps readers get through life by using charming "turtlisms" that complement her just-as-cute turtle illustrations. She teaches us about life’s little lessons with little treats like, "You can’t move forward until you stick your neck out." and "The slower you go, the more you see." The author’s little observations make a big difference on the journey through life.

This book makes a lovely and inspiring gift.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 很久很久以前，年幼的桑迪•金格拉斯就听说过《龟兔赛跑》的故事，这则寓言故事教导人们“不紧不慢，稳中求胜”的道理，然而桑迪并没有铭记在心，相反她日复一日的过着快节奏的生活，似乎要把所有的事情在一天内做完，随之而来的无疑是无穷无尽的疲惫感。今天的桑迪将为我们带来一则全新的乌龟故事，这本充满神奇魔力的小书将通过另一只小乌龟向读者们呈现一种截然不同的生活方式，《小乌龟启示录》给我们每一个人都上了重要的一课，那便是：享受缓慢！生活的真谛在于懂得享受此时此刻，在于寻觅出专属于你的人生之路，最美的不是到达终点线的那一刻，而是沿途美丽奇妙的风光。学会做一只小乌龟，学会留心，学会品味，学会沐浴阳光，学会勇敢的冒险，最重要的是，学会成长，我们都应该抛开过去的生活模式，而去享受新生的喜悦。

通过宣扬“乌龟主义”这种全新且充满生命力的精神，金格拉斯不仅帮助自己完成了可爱的小乌龟插图，而且帮助她的读者们渡过生活的难关。"如果你不勇敢的伸出你的头，那么你永远无法迈出你的第一步。”"你行走得越是缓慢，越能欣赏到更多的风景。“这些都是金格拉斯送给读者们的小小箴言，而她细微的小发现则在她的生命历程中开辟出一片新的广袤天地。

这本小书无疑将会是一个可爱却又同时充满启迪意义的小礼物。(DC)
