About this product
Product Information
Selected for The Children's Book Council's June 2023 "Hot Off The Press" Reading List A gentle story about a little snail called Henry who was born without slime and therefore will never be like everyone else. When Henry finds out he is missing the most important element for snails--their slime--giving up is not an option for him. He tries to find ways to be able to climb things just as the other snails do. He struggles a bit before he finds the right solution, but in the end, he becomes the inspiration for his fellow snails and makes a lot of friends along the way, teaching us that far from being an obstacle, a difference may prove to be the key that opens new horizons. Using a simple story and a sympathetic hero the kids learn social-emotional skills and are better prepared to cope with everyday life situations.

"This is a sweet tale of perseverance and of not letting a disability define oneself. The hand-lettered text is easy to read, and the artwork is gorgeous - the garden greenery and bugs are beautifully rendered in a realistic style, while still imbuing the insects with personality." --Stephanie Tournas, Robbins Library, Arlington, MA, Selected for the CBC's 2023 June Hot Off The Press Reading List (https://www.cbcbooks.org/cbc-book-lists/june-2023/). "This is a sweet tale of perseverance and of not letting a disability define oneself.

The story is about handicaps, coping with them, yearning, empowerment, and solidarity. I highly recommend this book." --Storywraps "I really like when a children's book is entertaining and is also able to sneak in some life lessons without it feeling preachy. [. . .] My grandson enjoyed this story and the artwork and he was able to share with me what lessons Henry learned along the way. It's a great book and one that would be a great addition to any library; public, personal, and educational. 5 stars!" -- Goodreads/NetGalley-Reviewer "I think this is a great book for teaching about diversity and disability, growth mindset and even just being special and unique. I could definitely see this book being in my classroom library and would recommend this book to parents and teachers of children in the age 6-1o range." -- NetGalley-Educator "Snails have never been this cute or this resilient as in this picture book. Henry is just so precious and I love how he accepts his limitations and his strengths! [. . .] The illustrations are so much fun! Have you ever seen a snail lifting peas, working his abbs or wear a clowns costume? You totally should, because it's hilarious! You can clearly see how all animals are equally respected, which is rare in a book about overcoming your weaknesses." -- Milou Reads Books IG "This snail's-eye view of the world and his place in it offers important lessons on willpower, overcoming adversity, and accepting differences that will serve as fine food for thought and discussion between adults and kids. The inviting story is highly recommended for libraries looking for lessons in positive thinking and diverse approaches to life." --D onovan's Literary Services "I LOVE snails and the snail storytime I do and this book was adorable! It will definitely be making its way into my snail storytime list!" -- NetGalley-Librarian, Selected for the CBC's 2023 June Hot Off The Press Reading List (https://www.cbcbooks.org/cbc-book-lists/june-2023/).

This is a also a celebration of differences; Henry can''t make it on his own, but freely asks for help. In return, he teaches the other creatures his own skills and doesn''t feel bad that he''s no longer the only snail with his unique talents." --Jean Little Library "This is a sweet tale of perseverance and of not letting adisability define oneself.

Little Henry is so adorable. I love his can-do spirit and his tenacity! What a great message for little readers who might feel inadequate or weak. A positive attitude can work wonders in any situation! I love the pretty illustrations!
