Detailed item info | Synopsis | From Jamie Lee Curtis, one of the few celebrity authors who create meaningful picture books, comes a riff about success being all about the process, not the outcome. A red-haired boy is concerned about the craziness and competition in life, and is concerned that he’d better get cracking or he’ll lose. He imagines that from birth on, everyone on the planet is doing their darnedest to win something, but he has no idea what. With lots of humorous drawings and heartfelt advice, he learns that maybe the human race isn’t so important after all.
While thinking about life as a race, a child wonders whether it is most important to finish first or to have fun along the way.
