Project Overview

Speed the Hare keeps teasing Sal the Tortoise because Sal is slower than Speedy. So Sal decides there's only one solution: to beat Speedy in a race. But how? Sal discovers that instead of worrying about what he isn't he can build on what he is. Sal is steady, focused and determined. In the end, he discovers that being a winner is about much more than who crosses the finish line first.
